2	Surely I am more brutish than any other human being, and I do not have human understanding;	Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.	Surely I am only a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding.
3	I have not learned wisdom, nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.	I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4	Who has ascended into heaven, and then descended? Who has gathered up the winds in his fists? Who has bound up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name?--if you know!	Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!	Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
