Isaiah 40:9-17
9O ZionH6726, that bringest glad tidings, get thee up into a highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest glad tidings, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581: liftH7311 it up, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your 1GodH430!
10Behold, the LordH136 Jehovah will comeH935 with might, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him; behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his recompence before him.
11He will feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he will gatherH6908 the lambs with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436; he will gently leadH5095 those that give suck.
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.
