Isaiah 40:9-17

9O thou that tellest good tidings to ZionH6726, get thee up on a highH1364 mountainH2022; O thou that tellest good tidings to JerusalemH3389, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; liftH7311 it up, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold, your GodH430! 10Behold, the LordH136 Jehovah will comeH935 as a mightyH2389 one, and his armH2220 will ruleH4910 for him: Behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his recompenseH6468 before him. 11He will feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462, he will gatherH6908 the lambs in his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and will gently leadH5095 those that have their young.

12Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehended the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH4058, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scales, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH6425? 13Who hath directed the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 14With whom took he counselH3289, and who instructed him, and taughtH3925 him in the pathH734 of justiceH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and showed to him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394? 15Behold, the nationsH1471 are as a drop of a bucket, and are accountedH2803 as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16And LebanonH3844 is not sufficient to burnH1197, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. 17All the nationsH1471 are as nothingH369 before him; they are accountedH2803 by him as less than nothingH369, and vanity.
