it is in the lap of the Gods

强调
惯用语 одному Богу известно (Today the usual English expression, "in the lap of the Gods," refers to a situation that one can't control–something controlled by fate, destiny, providence. The phrase "in the lap" is used here to mean in the care, keeping, or control (a figurative sense of "lap" as a place where a child is held).)
