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 marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

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

"Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of Shaddai?

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

We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built.

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

I said, "My God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

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

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