⇒ things that happen in life are determined by God or, as some see it, fate etc and therefore are unpredictable and often impossible to understand:
- mysterious are the ways of the Lord;
- the ways of the Lord are inscrutable (unfathomable, unknowable);
- God (the Lord) moves in mysterious ways;
- the will of heaven (God) is mysterious and not easily discovered;
- life is mysterious (unpredictable).
♦ [author's usage] "Из всех неисповедимых путей Господа, наверное, самый неисповедимый привел тебя в полувымершую семью московских мастеровых из бывших крестьян, к девочке, почти подростку, с которой ты зачал родословную новой фамилии, гремучего симбиоза славянских и библейских кровей" (Максимов 2)."Of all the mysterious ways of the Lord, perhaps the most inscrutable was that which brought you into this half-extinct Moscow working-class family of erstwhile peasants, to marry a girl, still almost a child, with whom you founded a new branch of the family tree, a fierce symbiosis of Slavic and Hebraic blood.. " (2a).
