Proverbs 30:4

Who has ascended to heaven and come down again?
Who has captured the wind in his hands?
Who has wrapped the waters in his cloak?
Who has established the boundaries of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son's name,
do you know?
[It is implied that God is the answer to these questions. Similar rhetorical questions are found in Job 38–41 and Isa. 40:12–14. God's son is not mentioned by name, but here we see an early prophecy about the coming Messiah, see Luke 1:31–33.]
