23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;

in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.

24 Therefore, people revere him,

for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?”

23 The Almighty—we cannot find him;

he is great in power;

justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.

24 Therefore men fear him;

he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”

23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power,

And in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

24 Men do therefore fear him:

He respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

23 We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;

but even though he is just and righteous,

he does not destroy us.

24 No wonder people everywhere fear him.

All who are wise show him reverence.”

23 The Almighty is too high for us to reach.

He has great strength;

he is always right and never punishes unfairly.

24 That is why people honor him;

he does not respect those who say they are wise.”

23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:

He is excellent in power;

And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

24 Men do therefore fear him:

He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict. 24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

23 The Almighty, whom we can’t reach, 

is great in power and judgment, 

has more than enough righteousness, 

and does not oppress. 

24 That is why people should fear him. 

He does not respect those who think they’re wise.” 

23 The Almighty—we cannot reach Him—

He is exalted in power!

He will not oppress justice and abundant righteousness,

24 Therefore, men fear Him.

He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart.

23 The Almighty—we cannot find him;

he is great in power and justice,

and abundant righteousness he will not violate.

24 Therefore mortals fear him;

he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”

23 As for Shaddai, we cannot attain him;

he is exalted in power,

and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.

24 Therefore people revered him;

he does not regard any who think that they are wise.”

23 We can’t reach up to the Mighty One.

He is lifted high because of his power.

Everything he does is fair and right.

So he doesn’t crush people.

24 That’s why they have respect for him.

He cares about all those who are wise.”

23 “The Almighty—we cannot find Him;

He is exalted in power

And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

24 “Therefore men fear Him;

He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
