13And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never know any thing.
14For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.
15For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.
16Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.
