¹¹ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

¹⁷ Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

¹⁴ With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
