Isaiah 40:12-13
New American Standard Bible
12 Who has (A)measured the [a]waters in the hollow of His hand,
And measured the heavens with a [b]span,
And [c]calculated the dust of the earth with a measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales?
13 (B)Who has [d]directed the Spirit of the Lord,
Or as His (C)counselor has informed Him?

Isaiah 40:25-31
New American Standard Bible
25 “(A)To whom then will you compare Me
That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One.
26 (B)Raise your eyes on high
And see (C)who has created these stars,
The (D)One who brings out their [a]multitude by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the (E)greatness of His might and the [b]strength of His power,
(F)Not one of them is missing.
27 (G)Why do you say, Jacob, and you assert, Israel,
“My way is (H)hidden from the Lord,
And the (I)justice due me [c]escapes the notice of (J)my God”?
28 (K)Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The (L)Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is (M)unsearchable.
29 He gives strength to the (N)weary,
And to the one who lacks might He (O)increases power.
30 Though (P)youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous (Q)young men stumble badly,
31 Yet those who [d]wait for the Lord
Will (R)gain new strength;
They will [e](S)mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
