Surely I am more brutish and stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man [for I do not know what I do not know]. I have not learned [skillful and godly] wisdom, Nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One [who is the source of wisdom]. Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name? Certainly you know! [John 3:13; Rev 19:12] ¶Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. [Ps 18:30; 84:11; 115:9-11] Do not add to His words, Or He will reprove you, and you will be found a liar. ¶Two things I have asked of You; Do not deny them to me before I die: Keep deception and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, So that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or that I will not be poor and steal, And so profane the name of my God. [Deut 8:12, 14, 17; Neh 9:25, 26; Job 31:24; Hos 13:6]
