—Hymn to Nergal No. 6.

The wisdom of the gods is so deep that it cannot be easily fathomed and understood:

O Anu of the heavens, whose purpose no man knows,

Whose command is not altered and whose purpose no god knows.

—Hymn to Sin No. 5.

O mighty leader whose deep inner being no god understands.

—Hymn to Sin No. 5.

With these passages may be compared:

How great are thy works, Yahwe;

Exceeding deep are thy purposes.
