Proverbs 30:2-4 says:
> Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!
There is a related question here: https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/38937/who-is-he-and-what-is-the-name-of-his-son-proverbs-304 and, though the question seeks to ascertain the name and existence of the son from OT sources alone, many of the answers indicate that the trinitarian view incorporating the NT renders Jesus as either the one who fulfills the first 5 questions or as the son. A few answers and comments seem to hold that the questions are entirely rhetorical and the point is to not answer them.
How do Biblical Unitarians answer the six questions posed in these verses?
1) Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
2) Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
3) Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
4) Who has established all the ends of the earth?
5) What is his name?
6) What is his son's name?
