“Inscrutable”

Isaiah 40:28 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, The LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, does not become weary or tired, His understanding is inscrutable."

I have begun studying in the New American Standard Bible (NASB) version again after many years mostly spent in the New International Version (NIV) and some in New King James (NKJV).

For me NASB is not only a more literal translation from the original languages, it uses so much more of a richer vocabulary. For example, in this passage the word inscrutable is used instead of the phrase "no one can fathom". So I look up inscrutable for a better understanding and it says... "incapable of being investigated, scrutinized or analyzed, impenetrable, unfathomable". Wow, have you not heard? Do you not know? The Everlasting God, The LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth... not only does not grow weary or get tired, He also cannot be scrutinized, analyzed or investigated.

I call on all humans to abandon your senseless efforts to disprove God because He and His Truth are impenetrable. Now that is my inscrutable LORD. So keep talking "big thinkers" because that is what you are really good at. Meanwhile God is sustaining the universe. Even Isaiah understood that more than 2700 years ago.

Amazing,
