2 Esdras 5:38

38 And I said, "O sovereign Lord, who is able to know these things except he whose dwelling is not with men?

2 Esdras 5:38 In-Context

36 He said to me, "Count up for me those who have not yet come, and gather for me the scattered raindrops, and make the withered flowers bloom again for me;

37 open for me the closed chambers, and bring forth for me the winds shut up in them, or show me the picture of a voice; and then I will explain to you the travail that you ask to understand."

38 And I said, "O sovereign Lord, who is able to know these things except he whose dwelling is not with men?

39 As for me, I am without wisdom, and how can I speak concerning the things which thou hast asked me?"

40 He said to me, "Just as you cannot do one of the things that were mentioned, so you cannot discover my judgment, or the goal of the love that I have promised my people."
