For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.
Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.
Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.
so am I made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: *Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
and, *a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.* For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
