The Topaz that cometh out of Ethiopia may in no wise be likened unto her: yea, no manner of apparel how pleasant and fair soever it be. "From where then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? She is hid from the eyes of all men; yea, and from the fouls of the air. Destruction and death say, 'We have heard tell of her with our ears.' But God seeth her way, and knoweth her place. For he holdeth the ends of the world and looketh upon all that is under the heaven.

As for the round compass of his world, I make it joyful: for my delight is to be among the children of men.

With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver and him that is deceived. He carrieth away the wise men, as it were a spoil, and bringeth the judges out of their wits. He taketh away the subjection of the people from their kings, and girdeth their loins with a bond. He leadeth away the priests into captivity, and turneth the mighty upside down. He taketh the verity from out of the mouth, and disappointeth the aged of their wisdom. He poureth out confusion upon princes, and comforteth them that have been oppressed. "Look: what lieth hid in darkness, he declareth it openly! And the very shadow of death bringeth he to light! He both increaseth the people and destroyeth them; He maketh them to multiply, and driveth them away.

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

He soweth the wheat and Barley in their place, Milium and Rye also in their place. And that he may do it right, his God teacheth him and showeth him.read more.
For he treadeth not the fitches out with a waine, neither bringeth he the cart here and there over the cumin, but he thresheth the fitches out with a flail, and the cumin with a rod. As for the wheat, he grindeth it to make bread thereof; Inasmuch as he cannot bring it to pass with treading out. For neither the bruising that the cart wheels make, nor his beasts, can grind it. This and such like things come of the LORD of Hosts which is marvelous in counsel, and great in righteousness.
