Romans
Romans 11:33–36
33O, the depth of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and untraceable His ways!
34“Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?”j
35“Who has first given to God,
that God should repay him?”k
36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
