6 Y que te declarara los arcanos de la sabiduría, que [son] de doble [valor] que la hacienda! Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos que tu iniquidad merece.

7 ¿Alcanzarás tú el rastro de Dios? ¿llegarás tú á la perfección del Todopoderoso?

8 Es más alto que los cielos: ¿qué harás? Es más profundo que el infierno: ¿cómo lo conocerás?

9 Su dimensión es más larga que la tierra, y más ancha que la mar.

10 Si cortare, ó encerrare, ó juntare, ¿quién podrá contrarrestarle?
