"He is higher than heaven, and what will you do? He is deeper than hell, but how will you know? "
— Job 11:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?”
“It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? ”
“They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?”
“It is higher than the heavens– what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol– what can you know?”
“He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do? he is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?”
“They are higher than heaven; what is there for you to do? deeper than the underworld, and outside your knowledge;”
“It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?”
Yet I wish that God would speak with you, and would open his lips to you,
so that he might reveal to you the secrets of wisdom, and how intricate his law is, and that you would understand how much less he requires of you than your iniquity deserves.
By chance, will you comprehend the footsteps of God and reach all the way to the perfection of the Almighty?
He is higher than heaven, and what will you do? He is deeper than hell, but how will you know?
His measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
If he overturns all things, or packs them together, who will contradict him?
For he knows the vanity of men, and when he sees iniquity, does he not evaluate it?
