Be ye, therefore perfect-- Mt5,48
as your heavenly Father is perfect!
Who has ever known the mind of the Lord?-- Rm11,34
Who has ever been His adviser?
Who has given anything to Him,
so that His presents came only as a debt returned?
Everything there is comes from Him
and is caused by Him and exists for Him.
To Him be glory forever! Amen.
Shall He who implanted the ear not hear,-- Ps94,9
He who fashioned the eye not see?
Who directed the Spirit of Yahweh,-- Is40,13
what counseller could have instructed Him?
Who has He consulted to enlighten Him,
to instruct Him in the path of judgement,
to teach Him knowledge
and show Him how to understand?
See the nations are like a drop in a bucket,-- Is40,15
they count as a grain of dust on the scales.
See, coasts and islands weigh no more than fine powder.
(...) All the nations are as nothing before Him,
for Him they count as nothingness and emptiness.
To whom can you compare God?
What image can you contrive of Him?
Since the God who made the world and everything in it-- Ac17,24-25
is Himself Lord of heaven and earth,
He does not make His home in shrines made by human hands.
Nor is He in need of anything,
that He should be served by human hands;
on the contrary, it is He who gives everything -
including life and breath - to everyone.
(...) We could say much more and still fall short;-- Si43,29
to put it concisely,
He is all.
Where shall we find sufficient power to glorify Him,
since He is the Great One, above all His works, ...
Exalt the Lord in your praises as high as you may -
still He surpasses you.
