Isaiah 40:9-12

New International Version

⁹ You who bring good news^(A) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,^[a](B)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”^(C)
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes^(D) with power,^(E)
    and he rules^(F) with a mighty arm.^(G)
See, his reward^(H) is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.
¹¹ He tends his flock like a shepherd:^(I)
    He gathers the lambs in his arms^(J)
and carries them close to his heart;^(K)
    he gently leads^(L) those that have young.^(M)

¹² Who has measured the waters^(N) in the hollow of his hand,^(O)
    or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?^(P)
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
    or weighed the mountains on the scales
    and the hills in a balance?^(Q)
