Scripture focus

7. Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? 8. [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? 9. The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. 10. If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? 11. For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]? 12. For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass’s colt.

By searching. The sentence reads literally, “Can you find out the things to be explored about God?” The question conveys the idea of the absolute greatness and incomprehensibility of God.
