"O the Depths of God's . . . Wisdom - Jehovah Is "Wise Along"

In view of such evidence, is it any wonder  that the Bible shows Jehovah's wisdom to be superlative?  For example, it says that Jehovah is "wise alone."  (Romans 16:27)  Jehovah alone possesses wisdom in the absolute sense. He is the source of all true wisdom.  (Proverbs 2:6)  That is why Jesus, though the wises of Jehovah's creatures, did not rely on his own wisdom but spoke as his Father directed him. -John 12:48-50. 

Notice how the apostle Paul expressed the uniqueness of Jehovah's wisdom:  "O the depths of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are!"  (Romans 11:33) By opening the verse with the exclamation "O," Paul showed strong emotion-in this case, profound awe.  The Greek word he chose for "depth" is closely related to the word for "abyss."   Hence, his words evoke a vivid mental picture.  When we contemplate Jehovah's wisdom, it is as if we were gazing into a limitless, bottomless chasm, a realm so deep, so vast that we could not even grasp its immensity, let alone trace it out or map it in detail. (Psalm 92:5) Is that not a humbling thought?
