^12 (A)Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
    and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
    and weighed the mountains in scales
    and the hills in a balance?
^13 (B)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?
^(C)Who taught him the path of justice,
    and taught him knowledge,
    and showed him the way of understanding?
¹⁵ Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
    and are accounted ^(D)as the dust on the scales;
    behold, he takes up ^(E)the coastlands like fine dust.

^25 (A)To whom then will you compare me,
    that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
²⁶ Lift up your eyes on high and see:
    who created these?
^(B)He who brings out their host by number,
    calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
    and because he is strong in power,
    not one is missing.

²⁷ Why do you say, O Jacob,
    and speak, O Israel,
^(C)“My way is hidden from the Lord,
    ^(D)and my right is disregarded by my God”?
²⁸ Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is ^(E)the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    ^(F)his understanding is unsearchable.
²⁹ He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.
³⁰ Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
³¹ but ^(G)they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings ^(H)like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.
