Isaiah 40:12-15

English Standard Version

^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.
