My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness {and} thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers {thereof}.

Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

But I have understanding as well as you; I {am} not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? {understanding: Heb. an heart} {I am...: Heb. I fall not lower than you} {who...: Heb. with whom are not such as these?}

Who {is} this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
