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

那离得远又极深奥的，谁能找到呢？

那已有的事，既遥远又极其深奥，谁能发现呢？

萬事之理，離我甚遠，而且最深，誰能測透呢？

萬事之理遙不可及，太深奧，誰能測透呢？

萬事之理遙不可及，太深奧，誰能測透呢？

智慧如此遙不可及、深不可測，誰能找得到呢？

那離得遠又極深奧的，誰能找到呢？

現在的事實離我很遠，又很深，真深！誰能查得出呢？

那已有的事，既遙遠又極其深奧，誰能發現呢？

凡所有者、其理玄遠深邃、孰能測之、

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 away and very deep. Who can find 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?

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

And he said to the human race,“ The fear of the Lord— that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

“ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.“ As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

“ Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?They are higher than the heavens above— what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below— what can you know?

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.The deep says,“ It is not in me”; the sea says,“ It is not with me.”It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.Destruction and Death say,“ Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,

Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask,“ Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask,“ Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
