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 wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.

"Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"

The Almighty--we cannot find him; he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.

"But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

"O my God,"I say, "take me not away in the midst of my days-- you whose years endure throughout all generations!"

like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
