2I am the most fool of men; and the wisdom of men is not with me. (I am the most foolish of men; and I have no common sense.)
3I learned not wisdom; and I knew not the knowing of holy men.
4Who ascended into heaven, and came down (again)? Who held together the spirit in his hands? who bound together waters as in a cloth? (or Who held together the wind in his hands? who bound up the waters in a cloak?) Who raised (up) all the ends of the earth? What is the name of him? and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5Each word of God is a shield set afire, to all that hope in him. (Each word of God is fired, and he is a shield for all who hope in him.)
