Isaiah 40:13-17
English Standard Version
13 (A)Who has measured[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
14 Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
(B)Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?

and are accounted (C)as the dust on the scales;
behold, he takes up (D)the coastlands like fine dust.
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
nor are (E)its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
17 (F)All the nations are as nothing before him,
they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
