SCRIPTURE

"But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth." — Job 23:13 (ASV)

And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

There is, on Job's part, a reverential bowing before the supreme power, an acknowledgment of God's right to do with him as he wills.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him?

God has one mind, and he will carry out what he wills. It is vain for any man to think of turning him from his eternal purpose.
