For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?
Do you listen in on God’s secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Can anyone teach God knowledge, since he judges those that are on high?
Indeed, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
Who comprehends the mind of the Lord, or gives him instruction as his counselor?
Yet which of them has ever stood in the Lord’s inner circle so they could see and hear what he has to say? Which of them have ever paid attention or listened to what he has said?
For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to advise him? But we have the mind of Christ.
