Isaiah 40:12-18
12WhoH4310 has measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his handH8168, or marked offH8505 the heavensH8064 with the span of his handH2239? Who has heldH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a basketH7991, or weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 on a scaleH6425 and the hillsH1389 with a balanceH3976?13WhoH4310 has directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068H376,1 or informed HimH3045 as His counselorH6098?214WhomH4310 did He consultH3289H854 to enlighten HimH995, and who taught HimH3925 the pathsH734 of justiceH4941? Who impartedH3925 knowledge to HimH1847 and showed HimH3045 the wayH1870 of understandingH8394?
15SurelyH2005 the nationsH1471 are like a dropH4752 in a bucketH1805;they are consideredH2803H2005 a speck of dustH7834 on the scalesH3976;He lifts upH5190 the islandsH3393 like fine dustH1851.16LebanonH3844 is notH369 sufficientH1767 for fuelH1197,nor its animalsH2416H369 enoughH1767 for a burnt offeringH5930.17AllH3605 the nationsH1471 are as nothingH369 before HimH5048;He regards themH2803 as nothingnessH657 and emptinessH8414.
