God's Unseen Wisdom

Zophar argues that God's wisdom is far deeper and more complex than we can imagine. Commentators explain this 'secret wisdom' as a vast, mostly unrolled scroll; we only see a fraction of the full picture. This includes the deep spiritual meaning of God's law and the mysterious workings of His providence, calling us to humility before a God whose ways are beyond our full comprehension.
