Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.	I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.	Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
