Isaiah 32:17

Incomprehensible –

          What is justice? Why will justice dwell in the wilderness? Where is the wilderness? How will justice dwell in the wilderness? Is justice a spirit? Is a spirit dwelling in the wilderness? What is righteousness? Why will righteousness abide in the fertile field? Where is the fertile field? How will righteousness abide in the fertile field? Is righteousness also a spirit? Is a spirit abide in the fertile field?
