“Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?”
Zophar questions whether Job can find out the deep things of God or whether he can find out the limit of the Almighty, expressing the view that divine purposes are beyond human comprehension. The rhetorical questions expect negative answers, establishing that humans cannot understand God's ways. The implication is that Job should stop trying to understand and instead submit.
