Isaiah 40:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Scarcely have crops been planted or sown,
    scarcely have their stems taken root in the ground,
before he breathes on them and they wither,
    and storm winds carry them off like chaff.
²⁵ To whom then can you compare me,
    or who is my equal? says the Holy One.
²⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens.
    Who created these things?
He leads forth their host and numbers them,
    summoning them all by name.^[a]
Because of his mighty power and great strength,
    not one of them is missing.
