“Behold this; we have investigated it, and it is true.

“Yes, I know it is true.

“But [only] with Him are [perfect] wisdom and might;
He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.

True wisdom and power belong to Him.
The deceived and the deceiver are His.

“And if it were true that I have erred,
My error would remain with me [and I would be conscious of it].

If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar
and show that my speech is worthless?

How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!

Then He declares to them [the true character of] their deeds
And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly [with presumption and notions of self-sufficiency].

“But if they do not hear and obey, they will die by the sword [of God’s destructive judgments]
And they will die [in ignorance] without [true] knowledge.
