Doxological Overflow

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
     How unsearchable his judgments, 
     and his paths beyond tracing out! 
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? 
     Or who has been his counselor?"
“Who has ever given to God, 
     that God should repay them?”
For from him and through him and to him are all things. 
     To him be the glory forever! Amen. 
 -Romans 11:33-36 (TNIV)


Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
     "For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?"
     "Or who has given him anything that he may be repaid?"
For from him and through him and for him are all things.  To him be the glory forever.  Amen.
- (NAB)

How rich and deep are the wisdom and the knowledge of God!  We cannot reach to the root of his decisions or his ways.  "Who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser? Who has given anything to him, so that his presents come only as a debt returned?" Everything there is comes from him and is caused by him and exists for him.  To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
- (NJB)
