searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” (1 Cor. 2:10). In the verse just prior to this, Paul

knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy children” (Hos. 4:6). “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matt. 22:29).
