Jacob 4:8
1830 Edition
Behold, great and marvellous are the works of the Lord.—How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of Him; and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways.—And no man knoweth of his ways, save it be revealed unto him; wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God.

Romans 11:33 (KJV)
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Changes
Behold, great and marvellous are the works of the Lord.— How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of Hhim; and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways.— And no man knoweth of his ways, save it be revealed unto him; wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God.
Simple English
The Lord’s works are great and wonderful. His mysteries are so deep that we cannot understand them all. No one knows his ways unless God reveals them. So brothers, don’t reject God’s revelations.
Paraphrase
The works of the Lord are astounding and beyond explanation. The depths of his mysteries are unsearchable. It’s impossible for anyone to figure out all his ways on their own. No one knows his ways unless he reveals them. So don’t dismiss what God reveals.
