But I have intelligence as well as you; I am not inferior to you. And who does not know such things as these?

Then I was stupid and ignorant; I was like an animal before You.

Where then does wisdom come from? And where is this place of understanding?It is hidden from the eyes of every living creature, And concealed from the birds of the sky.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.

I am certainly more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man;Nor have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His Son’s name? Surely you know!

When I thought of understanding this, It was troublesome in my sightUntil I entered the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it.

“ Who is this who darkens the divine plan By words without knowledge?

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

‘ Who is this who conceals advice without knowledge?’ Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I do not know.

Please hear my argument, And give your attention to the contentions of my lips.

“ But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God.

Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
