About the might of the Almighty…

Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water? † While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. † Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. † What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web. † He leans on his web, but it gives way; he clings to it, but it does not hold. † He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden; † it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones. † But when it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says, 'I never saw you.' † Surely its life withers away, and from the soil other plants grow. † "Surely God does not reject a blameless man or strengthen the hands of evildoers. † He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. † Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more." † "Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be righteous before God? † Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand. † His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? † He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. † He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. † He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. † He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. † He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. † He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. † When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. † "Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since man was placed on the earth, † that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment. † Though his pride reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds, † then his flesh is renewed like a child's; it is restored as in the days of his youth. † He prays to God and finds favor with him, he sees God's face and shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state. † Then he comes to men and says, 'I sinned, and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved. †
