Isaiah 40:12-22

12Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollow of his hand, and meted out the heavensH8064 with [his] spanH2239, and grasped the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH4058, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in a balanceH6425, and the hillsH1389 in scales?

13Who hath directed the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah, and, [as] his counsellor, hath taught him?

14With whom took he counselH3289, and [who] gaveH995 him intelligence, and instructed him in the pathH734 of judgmentH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and shewed him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394?

15Behold, the nationsH1471 are esteemedH2803 as a drop of the bucket, and as the fineH1851 dust on the scales; behold, he taketh up the isles as an atom.

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 esteemedH2803 by him less than a cipher, and vanity.

18To whom then will ye likenH1819 1GodH410? and what likenessH1823 will ye compare unto him?

19The workman casteth a graven imageH6459, and the goldsmithH6884 spreadeth it over with goldH2091, and casteth silverH3701 chains [for it].

20He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a treeH6086 that doth not rotH7537; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepareH3559 a graven imageH6459 that shall not be moved.

21— Do ye not knowH3045? Have ye not heardH8085? Hath it not been toldH5046 you from the beginning? Have ye not understoodH995 the foundation of the earthH776?

22[It is] he that sitteth upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth out the heavensH8064 as a gauze curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tentH168 to dwellH3427 in;
