Who has understood the mind of the LORD, or instructed him as his counselor?
It's one of my favorite verses. As a kid I thought that verse was in Romans 11. Well, it is, but Paul is quoting Isaiah, but hey, as a kid... The last three verses in Romans 11, 33-36 It's still one of my favorite passages:
Doxology
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[1] knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"[2]
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"[3]
36For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
