What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? For Leviathan hides counsel without knowledge, because, though he is concealed from our infirmity by many frauds, he is yet disclosed to us by the holy inspiration of our Protector. He hides counsel without knowledge, because though he escapes the notice of those who are tempted, yet he cannot escape the notice of the Protector of the tempted. …
Thomas Aquinas
Therefore, in consequence, he assails those who deny divine providence saying, "Who is the man who foolishly hides his plan without your knowledge?" who is so presumptuous and stupid to say that a human counsel can be hidden from God without God knowing it? From the consideration of the divine excellence he proceeds to consider his own fault when he says, "So I have spoken foolishly," in not showing due reverence for divine excellence in my words, "about things which far exceed my knowledge," in discussing divine judgments.
