2 Esdras 5:39

39 As for me, I am unwise; how may I then speak of these things whereof Thou askest me?"

2 Esdras 5:39 In-Context

37 open me the places that are closed and bring me forth the winds that in them are shut up, show me the image of a voice; and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou laborest to know."

38 And I said, "O Lord who bearest rule, who may know these things but He that hath not His dwelling with men?

39 As for me, I am unwise; how may I then speak of these things whereof Thou askest me?"

40 Then said He unto me, "As thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out My judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto My people."

41 And I said, "Behold, O Lord, yet art Thou nigh unto those who are reserved till the end; and what shall they do who have been before me, or we who are now, or those who shall come after us?"
