Judith

Judith 8:14

ὅτι βάθος καρδίας ἀνθρώπου οὐχ εὑρήσετε καὶ λόγους τῆς διανοίας αὐτοῦ οὐ διαλήψεσθε· καὶ πῶς τὸν Θεόν, ὃς ἐποίησε τὰ πάντα ταῦτα, ἐρευνήσετε καὶ τὸν νοῦν αὐτοῦ ἐπιγνώσεσθε καὶ τὸν λογισμὸν αὐτοῦ κατανοήσετε; μηδαμῶς, ἀδελφοί, μὴ παροργίζετε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν·
King James Version (KJV)

For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.

Modern English

You cannot even plumb the depths of a human heart or grasp a person's thoughts — how then can you fathom God, who made all these things, and know his mind or understand his purposes? No, my brothers, do not provoke the Lord our God to anger.
