As thou knowest not what[ is] the way of the spirit,[ nor] how the bones[ do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

风从何道来，骨头在怀孕妇人的胎中如何长成，你尚且不得知道；这样，行万事之神的作为，你更不得知道。

你不知道气息如何进入孕妇的骨头里；照样，造万物之上帝的作为，你也无从得知。

你不知道气息如何进入孕妇的骨头里；照样，造万物之神的作为，你也无从得知。

正如你不知道风的路线，不知道骨骼在母胎中如何形成，你也无法了解创造万物之上帝的作为。

你不晓得风的路向，不知道骨头如何在孕妇胎中形成，照样，创造万物之神的作为，你也不得而知。

风有怎样的道路，骨头怎样在孕妇的腹胎中形成，你都不明白；照样，造万物之神的作为，你也不明白。

風從何道來，骨頭在懷孕婦人的胎中如何長成，你尚且不得知道；這樣，行萬事之神的作為，你更不得知道。

你不知道氣息如何進入孕婦的骨頭裏；照樣，造萬物之上帝的作為，你也無從得知。

你不知道氣息如何進入孕婦的骨頭裏；照樣，造萬物之神的作為，你也無從得知。

正如你不知道風的路線，不知道骨骼在母胎中如何形成，你也無法瞭解創造萬物之上帝的作為。

你不曉得風的路向，不知道骨頭如何在孕婦胎中形成，照樣，創造萬物之神的作為，你也不得而知。

你怎樣不知道風吹的路向如何，和骨頭在孕婦腹中怎樣長成，你也照樣不知道那行萬事的上帝之作為。

風有怎樣的道路，骨頭怎樣在孕婦的腹胎中形成，你都不明白；照樣，造萬物之神的作為，你也不明白。

風之由來、孕婦之胎、其骨如何而長、爾既不知、則成萬事之上帝、其所經營、爾亦不知也、

婦有妊、爾不知魂靈如何而畀、骨骸如何而成。上帝締造萬物、其經綸非人所能知也。

風風或作生氣之路、爾所不知、婦有孕、骨骸如何成於胎、婦有孕骨骸如何成於胎或作胎在腹中如何成形爾所不知、如此、天主創造萬物、創造萬物或作成就萬事其經綸爾亦所不知、

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

You don’t know the path the wind takes. You don’t know how a baby is made inside its mother. So you can’t understand how God works either. He made everything.

As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.

Just as you don’t know the path of the wind, or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant woman, so also you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.

Just as you do not know the path of the wind, and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes everything.

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all.

Just as you don’t know the path of the wind, or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.

Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.

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.

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].

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

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!

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

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

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

Dead[ things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.Hell[ is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,[ and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.He holdeth back the face of his throne,[ and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.Lo, these[ are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.Every man may see it; man may behold[ it] afar off.Behold, God[ is] great, and we know[ him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:Which the clouds do drop[ and] distil upon man abundantly.Also can[ any] understand the spreadings of the clouds,[ or] the noise of his tabernacle?Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it[ not to shine] by[ the cloud] that cometh betwixt.The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?Or[ who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth,[ as if] it had issued out of the womb?When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,And brake up for it my decreed[ place], and set bars and doors,And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;[ and] caused the dayspring to know his place;That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?It is turned as clay[ to] the seal; and they stand as a garment.And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.Where[ is] the way[ where] light dwelleth? and[ as for] darkness, where[ is] the place thereof,That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths[ to] the house thereof?Knowest thou[ it], because thou wast then born? or[ because] the number of thy days[ is] great?Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?By what way is the light parted,[ which] scattereth the east wind upon the earth?Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;To cause it to rain on the earth,[ where] no man[ is; on] the wilderness, wherein[ there is] no man;To satisfy the desolate and waste[ ground]; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?The waters are hid as[ with] a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we[ are]?Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,When they couch in[ their] dens,[ and] abide in the covert to lie in wait?Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?[ or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?Canst thou number the months[ that] they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.The range of the mountains[ is] his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?Wilt thou trust him, because his strength[ is] great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather[ it into] thy barn?[ Gavest thou] the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.She is hardened against her young ones, as though[ they were] not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils[ is] terrible.He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in[ his] strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that[ it is] the sound of the trumpet.He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,[ and] stretch her wings toward the south?Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.From thence she seeketh the prey,[ and] her eyes behold afar off.Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain[ are], there[ is] she.

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.

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.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.Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all[ my members] were written,[ which] in continuance were fashioned, when[ as yet there was] none of them.

[ 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.
