Ephrem the Syrian, on Job 11:7

“Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find out the Almighty perfectly?”

“These words mean, "Do you know what the Almighty will do at the end of his works?" I certainly grant that we have experience of things that are otherwise evident and manifest, but they only disclose to us the loftiness of heaven and all divine things.”
