For He fulfilled my lot, and many like these are with Him.
And these You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You.
But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? Yea, His soul desires, and He does it.
On account of this I am troubled from His presence; I consider, and I am in dread of Him.
so I am caused to inherit months of emptiness; and nights of trouble are appointed to me.
Your way is in the sea; and Your path is in the great waters; and Your footsteps are not known.
Clouds and darkness are all around Him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
The voice of Jehovah calls out to the city; and one of sound wisdom will see Your name. Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
O the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
because God has not appointed us to wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
and “a Stone-of-stumbling, and a Rockof- offense” to the ones stumbling, being disobedient to the Word, to which they were also appointed. Isa. 8:14
