But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?

I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.

“ From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?It is hidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!

But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

“ Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

‘ Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

Hear now my argument and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
