[But] I also have a heart as well as you.

Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before Him, if He will.

But hear now the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.

Behold, these are parts of His way; and we will hearken to Him at the least intimation of His word: but who knows the strength of His thunder, when He shall employ it?

Where then is wisdom found? And of what kind is the place of understanding?

It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.

Who is this that hides counsel from Me, and confines words in [his] heart, and thinks to conceal [them] from Me?

For who is he that hides counsel from You? Or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from You? And who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

And I undertook to understand this, [but] it is too hard for me,

until I go into the sanctuary of God, [and so] understand the latter end.

But I [was] vile and knew not: I became brutish before You.

The knowledge of You is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it.

For I am the most simple of all men, and there is not in me the wisdom of men.

Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? Who has gathered the winds in His bosom? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has dominion of all the ends of the earth? What is His name? Or what is the name of His children?

For now we see through a mirror by reflection, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
