17 The Lord has not allowed his holy ones
    to describe all of his wonders,
        which the Lord Almighty established
        so that the universe would stand firm
        in his glory.
18 He has searched the abyss and the heart,
    and he took their great achievements
    into consideration,
        because the Most High
        knew everything to be known.

19         explaining what has passed
        and what will be,
        and revealing the clues to things
        that are hidden.
