And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth.

Even now [men] cannot look at the light [when it is] bright in the skies, When the wind has passed and cleared them.

As [for] the Almighty, we cannot find Him; [He is] excellent in power, [In] judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress.

For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.

He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

As you do not know what [is] the way of the wind, [Or] how the bones [grow] in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

"For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper [in the thing] for which I sent it.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the LORD for a name, For an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off."

And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

"For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.

" For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

"For every tree is known by its own fruit. For [men] do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
