2 Esdras 5:38

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

2 Esdras 5:38 In-Context

36 And he said unto me, "Number me the things that have not yet come, gather me together the dross that are scattered abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered,

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."
