Job 11:7

A church father on this verse
“These words mean, "Do you know what the Almighty will do at the end of his works?" I certainly grant that we have experience of things that are otherwise evident and manifest, but they only disclose to us the loftiness of heaven and all divine things.”

5But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, And open his lips with thee!

6Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; For it shall be double of that which is with thee: And then shalt thou know, that a just recompense of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.

— Job 11:7 —

8Heaven is high; and what wilt thou do? And there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know?

9Or longer than the measure of the earth, Or the breadth of the sea.
