Isaiah 55:8 - For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 - For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

i think the first is more accurate
the second has the implication that God has merely viable alternatives to our own ideas that are different
the first shows that God not only knows our thoughts but transcends them also in ways we cant fully grasp
Isaiah 55 vv 8 - 10

I think this is what you are thinking of:
Romans 11:33-35 (New International Version)

Doxology
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,'' says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isa 55.8-9
Both are true
