I was thinking more about 13:

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.

Verse 13 is what I was thinking when you said: I think we just don't understand yet how it all fits together.
