7“aCan you find the depths of God?
Can you find the limits of the Almighty?
8“They are ahigh as 1the heavens, what can you do?
Deeper than bSheol, what can you know?
9“Its measure is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10“If He sweeps by or shuts up,
Or calls an assembly, awho can turn Him around?
11“For aHe knows worthless men,
And He bsees wickedness, 1so will He not carefully consider it?

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Can you find out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
It is higher than heaven—what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
Its measure is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
If he passes through and imprisons
and summons the court, who can turn him back?
For he knows worthless men;
when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
But a stupid man will get understanding
when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man!

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
“If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?
Surely he recognizes deceivers;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?
But the witless can no more become wise
than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Can you fathom the depths of God
or discover the limits of the Almighty?
They are higher than the heavens—what can you do?
They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.
If he passes by and throws someone in prison
or convenes a court, who can stop him?
Surely he knows which people are worthless.
If he sees iniquity, will he not take note of it?
But a stupid person will gain understanding
as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!

NLTNew Living Translation
“Can you solve the mysteries of God?
Can you discover everything about the Almighty?
Such knowledge is higher than the heavens—
and who are you?
It is deeper than the underworld—
what do you know?
It is broader than the earth
and wider than the sea.
If God comes and puts a person in prison
or calls the court to order, who can stop him?
For he knows those who are false,
and he takes note of all their sins.
An empty-headed person won’t become wise
any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Can you find out the essence of God,
or can you find out the ultimate limits of Shaddai?
It is higher than the heaven; what can you do?
It is deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
Its measure is longer than the earth
and broader than the sea.
“If he passes through and imprisons someone
and summons the assembly, then who can hinder him?
For he knows those who are worthless;
when he sees iniquity, he will not consider it.
But an empty-headed person will get understanding
when a wild donkey’s colt is born as a human being.

KJV 1900King James Version
Canst thou by searching find out God?
Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?
Deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
The measure thereof is longer than the earth,
And broader than the sea.
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together,
Then who can hinder him?
For he knoweth vain men:
He seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
For vain man would be wise,
Though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
