For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Ver. 11. Save the Spirit, &c.] Man knows his inward thoughts, purposes, and desires, but the frame and disposition of his own heart he knows not, Jeremiah 17:9 .
Knoweth no man] How can he that cannot tell the form and quintessence of things, that cannot enter into the depths of the flowers, or the grass he treads on, have the wit to enter into the deep things of God, hidden from angels till the discovery, and since that they are students in it?
But the Spirit of God] With this heifer of his, therefore, we must plough, if we will ever understand his riddles.
