I do not have human understanding.
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!

If you know?
