38And I said, O Lord, that bearest rule, who may know these things, but hee that hath not his dwelling with men? 39As for me, I am vnwise: how may I then speake of these things whereof thou askest me? 40Then said he vnto me, Like as thou canst doe none of these things that I haue spoken of, euen so canst thou not find out my iudgement, or in the end the loue that I haue promised vnto my people. 41And I said, behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh vnto them that be reserued till the end; and what shall they doe that haue beene before me, or we (that be now) or they that shall come after vs? 42And he said vnto me, I wil liken my iudgement vnto a ring: like as there is no slacknesse of the last, euen so there is no swiftnesse of the first.
