2. Surely I am more stupid than any man,And do not have the understanding of a man.
3. I neither learned wisdomNor have knowledge of the Holy One.
4. Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?Who has gathered the wind in His fists?Who has bound 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,If you know?
5. Every word of God is pure;He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6. Do not add to His words,Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
