God Needs No Advisor
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse uses a rhetorical question to declare God's supreme and independent wisdom. Unlike human rulers or pagan gods, God has never needed a counselor or teacher. His plans and understanding are entirely His own, infinite, and perfect. This is meant to build confidence that God is fully in control and His ways are beyond our questioning.
