No matter how corrupt humanity grows or how the serpent tempts them,

Jehovah still has His wisdom;

so, ever since He created the world, He has been engaged in new work,

and none of the steps of this work has ever been repeated.

Satan has continuously put plots into motion,

humanity has constantly been corrupted by Satan,

and Jehovah God has unceasingly carried out His wise work.

He has never failed, nor has He ever stopped working,

ever since the world was created.

In doing all this work, Jehovah God has not only allowed humans,

who have been corrupted by Satan,

to receive His great salvation,

but also allowed them to see His wisdom, almightiness, and authority.

Furthermore, in the end, He will let them see His righteous disposition—

punishing the evil and rewarding the good.

He has battled Satan to this very day and has never been defeated,

because He is a wise God,

and He exercises His wisdom based upon Satan’s plots.

So, God not only makes everything in heaven submit to His authority,

but He also has everything upon earth rest below His footstool.

Moreover, He makes the evil ones who invade and harass humanity

fall within His chastisement, fall within His chastisement.

The results of all this work are brought about because of His wisdom.

Only then has everything in heaven and upon earth

witnessed God’s wisdom, almightiness,

and in particular, God’s practicality.

Only then has everything in heaven and upon earth

witnessed God’s wisdom, almightiness,

and in particular, God’s practicality.
