Whatever exists is far away and very deep. Who can find it?

万事之理，离我甚远，而且最深，谁能测透呢？

万事之理遥不可及，太深奥，谁能测透呢？

万事之理遥不可及，太深奥，谁能测透呢？

智慧如此遥不可及、深不可测，谁能找得到呢？

道甚玄遠、誰能測度。

世間萬事、其理懸遠、深妙又深妙、誰能窮究、

Whatever exists is far off and most profound— who can discover it?

That which has been is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?

Wisdom is always distant and difficult to find.

What exists is beyond reach and very deep. Who can discover it?

What has been is remote and very mysterious. Who can discover it?

As for that which is far off and exceedingly deep, Who can find it out?

That which is, is far off and exceeding deep; who can find it out?

What exists is beyond reach and very deep. Who can discover it?

That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?

Whatever has happened is beyond human understanding; it is far deeper than anyone can fathom.

That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?

How very rich are God’s wisdom and knowledge! How he judges is more than we can understand! The way he deals with people is more than we can know!

God is the only one who can’t die. He lives in light that no one can get close to. No one has seen him. No one can see him. Honor and power belong to him forever. Amen.

I’m amazed at how well you know me. It’s more than I can understand.

He said to human beings,“ Have respect for the Lord. That will prove you are wise. Avoid evil. That will show you have understanding.”

Your holiness is as great as the height of the highest mountains. You are as honest as the oceans are deep. Lord, you keep people and animals safe.

“ My thoughts are not like your thoughts. And your ways are not like my ways,” announces the Lord.“ The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

“ Do you know how deep the mysteries of God are? Can you discover the limits of the Mighty One’s knowledge?They are higher than the heavens above. What can you do? They are deeper than the deepest parts of the earth below. What can you know?

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding live?No human being understands how much it’s worth. It can’t be found anywhere in the world.The ocean says,“ It’s not in me.” The sea says,“ It’s not here either.”It can’t be bought with the finest gold. Its price can’t be weighed out in silver.It can’t be bought with gold from Ophir. It can’t be bought with priceless onyx or lapis lazuli.Gold or crystal can’t compare with it. It can’t be bought with jewels made of gold.Don’t bother to talk about coral and jasper. Wisdom is worth far more than rubies.A topaz from Cush can’t compare with it. It can’t be bought with the purest gold.So where does wisdom come from? Where does understanding live?It’s hidden from the eyes of every living thing. Even the birds in the sky can’t find it.Death and the Grave say,“ Only reports about it have reached our ears.”But God understands the way to it. He is the only one who knows where it lives.

What I’m commanding you today is not too hard for you. It isn’t beyond your reach.It isn’t up in heaven. So you don’t have to ask,“ Who will go up into heaven to get it? Who will announce it to us so we can obey it?”And it isn’t beyond the ocean. So you don’t have to ask,“ Who will go across the ocean to get it? Who will announce it to us so we can obey it?”No, the message isn’t far away at all. In fact, it’s really near you. It’s in your mouth and in your heart so that you can obey it.
