Isaiah 40:12-22

12WhoH4310 has 1measuredH4058 the 2watersH4325 in the hollowH8168 of His handH8168, And markedH8505 offH8505 the heavensH8064 by the 3spanH2239, And 4calculatedH3557 the dustH6083 of the earthH776 by the measureH7991, And weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in a balanceH6425 And the hillsH1389 in a pair of scalesH3976?135WhoH4310 has 6directedH8505 the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068, Or as His 7counselorH376H6098 has informedH3045 Him?148With whomH4310 did He consultH3289 and who 9gaveH995 Him understandingH995? And who taughtH3925 Him in the pathH734 of justiceH4941 and taughtH3925 Him knowledgeH1847 And informedH3045 Him of the wayH1870 of understandingH8394?15BeholdH2005, the 10nationsH1471 are like a dropH4752 from a bucketH1805, And are regardedH2803 as a speckH7834 of 11dustH7834 on the scalesH3976; BeholdH2005, He liftsH5190 up the 12islandsH339 like fineH1851 dustH1851.16Even LebanonH3844 is not enoughH1767 to burnH1197, NorH369 its 13beastsH2421 enoughH1767 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930.1714AllH3605 the nationsH1471 are as nothingH369 beforeH5048 Him, They are regardedH2803 by Him as lessH657 thanH4480 nothingH657 and 15meaninglessH8414.

1816To whomH4310 then will you likenH1819 GodH410? Or whatH4100 likenessH1823 will you compareH6186 with Him?19As for the 1718idolH6459, a craftsmanH2796 castsH5258 it, A goldsmithH6884 19platesH7554 it with goldH2091, And a silversmithH6884 fashions chainsH7577 of silverH3701.20He who is too impoverishedH5532 for such an offeringH8641 SelectsH977 a 20treeH6086 that does not rotH7537; He seeksH1245 out for himself a skillfulH2450 craftsmanH2796 To 21prepareH3559 22an idolH6459 that 23will not totterH4131.

2124Do you not knowH3045? Have you not heardH8085? Has it not been declaredH5046 to you from the beginningH7218? Have you not understoodH995 25from the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776?22It is He who 26sitsH3427 aboveH5921 the 2728circleH2329 of the earthH776, And its inhabitantsH3427 are like 29grasshoppersH2284, Who 30stretchesH5186 out the heavensH8064 like a 31curtainH1852 And spreadsH4969 them out like a 32tentH168 to dwellH3427 in.
