29 God does not take back his gifts. He does not change his mind about those he has chosen.
30 At one time you did not obey God. But now you have received mercy because Israel did not obey.
31 In the same way, Israel has not been obeying God. But now they receive mercy because of God's mercy to you.
32 God has found everyone guilty of not obeying him. So now he can have mercy on everyone.
33 How very rich are God's wisdom and knowledge! How he judges is more than we can understand! The way he deals with people is more than we can know!
34 "Who can ever know what is in the Lord's mind? Or who can ever give him advice?" (Isaiah 40:13)
35 "Has anyone ever given anything to God, so that God has to pay him back?" (Job 41:11)
