Wisdom 17:1
Print
Your judgments are great and difficult to explain. This is why those who haven’t been well-taught go astray.
For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred.
O Lord, your acts of judgment are marvelous and hard to explain; that is why people who had not been taught about them went astray.
For great are your judgments, and hard to describe; therefore the unruly souls went astray.
Great are your judgments and difficult to expound; for this reason obtuse souls were led into error.
Great are your judgements and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Great are your judgements and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Great are your judgments and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Great are your judgments and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Great are thy judgments and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Great are thy judgments and hard to describe; therefore uninstructed souls have gone astray.
Forsooth, Lord, thy dooms be great, and thy words may not be (or be not able to be) fully told out; unlearned souls erred for these. [Forsooth great be thy dooms, Lord, and untellable thy words; for these the undisciplined souls erred.]
