Isaiah 40:13
Douay-Rheims
Who hath forwarded the spirit of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor, and hath taught him?
Basil of Caesarea
"Who has known the mind of the Lord or who rather has been his counselor?" This passage is not merely a rhetorical question. If it were, "who" could not possibly refer to anyone. Rather, the use of "who" indicates a rare personage.… All these questions … have the same answer: "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing."
