Pour out the overflowings of your anger,
And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.
And tread down the wicked where they stand.
Hide them in the dust together;
Bind them in the hidden place.
Then I will also confess to you,
That your own right hand can save you.
Who has given to Me that I should repay him?
WHATEVER IS UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN IS MINE (emphasis added).

Then Job answered the Lord and said,
"I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?'
'Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,

But now my eye sees You;
Therefore I retract,
And I repent in dust and ashes.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;..(1 Corinthians 1:27).

Do we know the ways and laws of God or only His acts? Do we know His thinking behind the universe when He created it?
