Berean Standard Bible

“O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!”

Romans 11:33

Save as image

Study note

This verse opens a hymn of praise, Romans 11:33-36, that closes the long argument of chapters 9 to 11 about God's plan for Israel and the nations. After working through hard questions about election, unbelief and mercy, Paul does not end with a tidy formula but with worship.
