Isaiah 40:9-17

9O thou that tellest goodH1319 tidingsH1319 to ZionH6726, getH5927 thee upH5927 intoH5921 the highH1364 mountainH2022: O thou that tellest goodH1319 tidingsH1319 to JerusalemH3389, liftH7311 upH5927 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; liftH7311 it upH5927, be notH408 afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, BeholdH2009, your GodH430!

10BeholdH2009, the LordH136 GODH136 will comeH935 as a mightyH2389 one, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: beholdH2009, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his recompence beforeH6440 him.

11He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462, he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH5763 in his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that giveH5375 suck.

12Who hath measuredH4058 the watersH4325 in the hollowH8168 of his handH8168, and metedH8505 outH8254 heavenH8064 with the spanH2239, and comprehended the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in a measureH4058, and weighedH8254 the mountainsH2022 in scalesH3976, and the hillsH1389 in a balanceH6425?

13Who hath directedH3045 the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, or being his counsellor hath taughtH3045 him?

14With whomH4310 tookH3045 he counselH3289, and who instructedH3045 him, and taughtH3925 him in the pathH734 of judgmentH4941, and taughtH3925 him knowledgeH1847, and shewed to him the wayH1870 of understandingH8394?

15BeholdH2005, the nationsH1471 are as a dropH4752 of a bucketH1805, and are countedH2803 as the small dustH7834 of the balanceH3976: beholdH2005, he taketh up the islesH339 as a very little thing.

16And LebanonH3844 is notH369 sufficientH1767 to burnH1197, norH369 the beastsH2416 thereof sufficientH1767 for a burntH5930 offering.

17AllH3605 the nationsH1471 are as nothingH369 beforeH5048 him; they are countedH2803 to him lessH657 thanH3605 nothingH369, and vanity.
