Isaiah 40:11-13
International Standard Version
Isaiah 40:11-13
International Standard Version
11 Like a shepherd, he tends his flock.
He gathers the lambs in his arms,
carries them close to his heart,
and gently leads the mother sheep.”
Who is Like the Lord?
12 “Who has measured the waters of the sea[a]
in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens
by the width of his hand?[b]
Who has enclosed the dust of the earth
in a measuring bowl,
or weighed the mountains
in scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has fathomed the Spirit of the Lord,
or as his counselor has taught him?[c]
