Oh, the depth The phrase "Oh, the depth" expresses a profound sense of awe and wonder. In the Greek, the word for "depth" is "βάθος" (bathos), which conveys an immeasurable vastness. This depth refers to the inexhaustible and unfathomable nature of God's attributes. Historically, the concept of depth is often associated with the sea, symbolizing mystery and the unknown. In a spiritual context, it invites believers to contemplate the infinite nature of God’s wisdom and knowledge, which surpasses human understanding. of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! (33) Riches.--The two substantives which follow may be taken as dependent upon "riches." This is the construction adopted in the Authorised version, and is expressed by the use of the word "both." Or all three substantives may be independent, O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! In either case, "riches" means "inexhaustible resources," implying either that the wisdom and knowledge of God are inexhaustible, or that the materials at their command are inexhaustible. By means of these infinite resources God is able to bring good even out of evil. Judgments.--Decisions, such as that by which Israel was excluded and the Gentiles admitted. Verses 33-35. - O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge (or, of the riches and wisdom and knowledge) of God! By γνώσεως is signified God's omniscience; by σοφίας, his wisdom in ordering events; by πλούτου, if it be taken as a co-ordinate substantive, the abundance of his goodness (cf. Romans 2:4, πλούτος τῆς χρηστότητος; Ephesians 1:7, τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ. Co-ordination of the three substantives is suggested by the καὶ before σοφίας; but St. Paul's prevailing usage may rather commend the dependence of σοφίας and γνώσεως or πλούτου, as in the Authorized Version). How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding (rather, tracing) out! (cf. Psalm 26:6; Job 9:10; Job 11:7). For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? (Isaiah 40:13, quoted accurately from the LXX.). Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? (cf. Job 41:11, where the Hebrew has (Revised Version), "Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him?" The LXX. (Job 41:2) gives an entirely different sense of the passage; and it would thus appear, as may be seen also in other cases, that St. Paul, though usually quoting more or less freely from the LXX., was familiar also with the Hebrew text, and exercised judgment in his citations.Parallel Commentaries ...
