3 It is the foolishness of an earthling man that distorts his way,+ and so his heart becomes enraged against Jehovah himself.+

8 “For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts,+ nor are my ways YOUR ways,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,+ so my ways are higher than YOUR ways,+ and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts.+

25 “‘And YOU people will certainly say: “The way of Jehovah* is not adjusted right.”+ Hear, please, O house of Israel. Is not my own way adjusted right?+ Are not the ways of YOU people not adjusted right?+

29 “‘And the house of Israel will certainly say: “The way of Jehovah* is not adjusted right.”+ As for my ways, are they not adjusted right, O house of Israel?+ Are not the ways of YOU people the ones that are not adjusted right?’+
