NIGHT by Elie Wiesel: "Man asks and God..." Is this a paradox?

I. Early in the narrative, Moishe tells Eliezer, “Man asks and G-d replies. But we don’t understand His replies. We cannot understand them” ( 5). Is this a paradox? (You might have to look up that word!)How does Eliezer react to this seemingly unfair ertion? Apply Moishe’s statement to the ongoing crisis of faith that Eliezer faces throughout the course of Night.
