12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
