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

¹⁵ Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
    they are regarded as dust on the scales;^(A)
    he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.^(B)
