We discover that the Spirit of the Lord lacks no knowledge and has no need of counsel by which his knowledge, wisdom, or understanding might be improved outside of himself. These verses are a development of the proclamation in verse 9: “ Here is your God!” They also expound more fully the description of an all-powerful yet tender Shepherd-King in verses 10–11, demonstrating that the incomparable majesty of God set forth in verses 12–26 leads into an assurance that he will give strength to his frail people even in their hour of need. Isaiah’s prophecy is part of a revelation that pertains to the incomparable nature of God (Isaiah 40:12-31). 12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except his spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Isaiah 40:13 (CSB) - 13 Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or who gave him counsel?ġ Corinthians 2:10–12 (CSB) - 10 Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, since the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. We then see these divine attributes attributed to the Holy Spirit himself in such a manner that identifies the Holy Spirit with the divine being of Yahweh. Scripture attributes to God certain divine attributes which are not attributes to any created beings, such as omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and eternality.
