Ohio,

Paul had some pretty strong words, too:

Romans 11:33 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!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.


And I like it when God told Job to "man up" and answer His questions:

38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:
2 “Who is this who darkens counsel with words without knowledge?
3 Get ready for a difficult task like a man; I will question you and you will inform me!
4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you possess understanding!


This amazing rebuke of Job continues in Job 38 through chapter 42:6.
God is who he is and we can't put him in a box. We can't presume to understand his ways.
