Bible in Basic English
"They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge;"
— Job 11:8, Bible in Basic English
“It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?”
But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;
And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!
Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?
They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge;
Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?
For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it.
