2 Esdras 4:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 I answered and said, “Each has made a foolish plan, for the land is assigned to the forest, and to the sea is assigned a place to carry its waves.”
20 He answered me and said, “You have judged rightly, but why have you not judged so in your own case? 21 For as the land is assigned to the forest and the sea to its waves, so also those who dwell upon earth can understand only what is on the earth, and he who is above the heavens can understand what is above the height of the heavens.”
