12:22 He reveals the deep things of darkness,
and brings deep shadows 1 into the light.
92:5 How great are your works, O Lord!
Your plans are very intricate! 2
92:6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this. 3
2:22 he reveals deep and hidden things.
He knows what is in the darkness,
and light resides with him.
11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how fathomless his ways!
11:34 For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor? 4
11:35 Or who has first given to God, 5
that God 6 needs to repay him? 7
11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.
1 tn The Hebrew word is traditionally rendered “shadow of death” (so KJV, ASV); see comments at Job 3:3.
2 tn Heb “very deep [are] your thoughts.” God’s “thoughts” refer here to his moral design of the world, as outlined in vv. 6-15.
3 tn Heb “the brutish man does not know, and the fool does not understand this.” The adjective בַּעַר (ba’ar, “brutish”) refers to spiritual insensitivity, not mere lack of intelligence or reasoning ability (see Pss 49:10; 73:22; Prov 12:1; 30:2, as well as the use of the related verb in Ps 94:8).
