וּמִֽי־כָמ֣וֹנִי יִקְרָ֗א וְיַגִּידֶ֤הָ וְיַעְרְכֶ֙הָ֙ לִ֔י מִשּׂוּמִ֖י עַם־עוֹלָ֑ם וְאֹתִיּ֛וֹת וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר תָּבֹ֖אנָה יַגִּ֥ידוּ לָֽמוֹ׃
Siapakah yang seperti Aku, yang dapat menyerukannya, memberitahukannya, dan menguraikannya secara teratur kepada-Ku sejak Aku menempatkan umat purbakala? Tanda-tanda ajaib dan hal-hal yang akan datang, biarlah mereka memberitahukannya kepada mereka!
Ezra ben Solomon
“Whence [me-ayin] can Wisdom be found?” [Job 28:12]. This Wisdom itself derives from Nought [ayin], the primordial Nought, no mortal knowing its value [‘erkah] which here means its order and array. That is to say, no one knows how to order the primal existences that are situated within her or how to know its characteristics. As it is written: “Who like Me can announce, can foretell it—and match Me thereby? Even as I told the future to an ancient people …” [Isa. 44:7]. “[For Wisdom] can not be found in the land of the living” [Job 28:13]. Even the angels do not know it. Thus the text states figuratively: “The deep says: ‘It is not in me.’ The sea says: ‘I do not have it’” [Job 28:14]. Similarly we find “But whence does wisdom come?” [Job 28:20] and “it is hidden from the eyes of all of the living” [Job 28:21], from them whose lives are eternal. “Concealed from all the fowl of heaven”—the ministering angels.
