The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

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

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

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

Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
