2 What ye know, `the same' do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself? What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?
