Job 36:26

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

“God thunders with His voice wondrously,
Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.

Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,

And His greatness is unsearchable.

“Can you discover the depths of God?
Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?

“Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”

“The Almighty—we cannot find Him;
He is exalted in power
And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!

Before the mountains were born

Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,

Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

I say, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days,
Your years are throughout all generations.

And like a mantle You will roll them up;

Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are

the same,

And Your years will not come to an end.”

But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
