Isaiah 40:26-28
Living Bible
26 Look up into the heavens! Who created all these stars? As a shepherd leads his sheep,[a] calling each by its pet name, and counts them to see that none are lost or strayed, so God does with stars and planets!
27 O Jacob, O Israel, how can you say that the Lord doesn’t see your troubles and isn’t being fair? 28 Don’t you yet understand? Don’t you know by now that the everlasting God, the Creator of the farthest parts of the earth, never grows faint or weary? No one can fathom the depths of his understanding.

Isaiah 40:26-28
New International Version
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:(A)
Who created(B) all these?
He who brings out the starry host(C) one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,(D)
not one of them is missing.(E)
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?(F)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?(G)
The Lord is the everlasting(H) God,
the Creator(I) of the ends of the earth.(J)
He will not grow tired or weary,(K)
and his understanding no one can fathom.(L)
