God is all knowing. His divine intellect, or omniscience, is undeniable when examining scripture. There is an overflow of scripture to back up the claim that there is nothing and no one more intelligent, more knowledgable or wise than God.
We get understanding of God's omniscience from the writings of David. This is especially shown throughout chapter 139 of Psalms, which starts out with David exclaiming, "You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.

Though He had the ability and full intention to raise His friend from the dead, the grief of His friends was upsetting and emotional for Jesus.
God is also seen throughout scripture to express feelings of jealousy. Exodus 20:5 tells "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me." Later, in Exodus 34:14, God reiterates this, saying "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous
