Proverbs 30:3-6
The Message
3-4 “I flunked ‘wisdom.’
I see no evidence of a holy God.
Has anyone ever seen Anyone
climb into Heaven and take charge?
grab the winds and control them?
gather the rains in his bucket?
stake out the ends of the earth?
Just tell me his name, tell me the names of his sons.
Come on now—tell me!”
5-6 The believer replied, “Every promise of God proves true;
he protects everyone who runs to him for help.
So don’t second-guess him;
he might take you to task and show up your lies.”
Proverbs 30:3-5
New International Version
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.(A)
4 Who has gone up(B) to heaven and come down?
Whose hands(C) have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters(D) in a cloak?(E)
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name,(F) and what is the name of his son?
Surely you know!
