Can we fully understand God's wisdom and judgments?
No. Scripture says God's wisdom and knowledge are deep and rich, yet human beings cannot even come close to comprehending His wisdom. His judgments are unsearchable, and His ways are past finding out. No one has known the mind of the Lord or been His counselor.
Les explains from the text that the depth and riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of God are beyond human grasp. He says we cannot even come close to comprehending God's wisdom and reads that His judgments are unsearchable and His ways past finding out. He then asks who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor. He also begins to illustrate from history that presidents and kings rise and fall largely because of the men around them, including weak advisers. Human understanding, therefore, cannot fully fathom God's wisdom and judgments.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
