  quote: With him are the keys of the secret things; none knoweth them besides himself
  summary: The passage describes God's knowledge of hidden things, the cycles of sleep
    and waking, death by appointed messengers, return to God for judgment, divine
    deliverance from dangers, possible punishments, admonition against ridiculers
    and false worship, eschatological assembly at the trumpet, and Abraham's rejection
    of images and of a setting star as lord.
