13 Who has directed the Spirit of the Eternal One?
    Can anyone claim to be His advisor?[a]
14 To whom did God turn for advice or instruction?
    Whom did He consult about right and wrong?
Who directed Him down the path of justice or imparted to Him knowledge
    or taught Him the way of understanding?

15 Face it; the nations are nothing but a drop in the bucket,
    only a smidgen on the scales by the reckoning of God.
He can pick up entire islands as if they are grains of dirt.

13 ¿Quién guió[a] al Espíritu del Señor,
O como consejero suyo le enseñó(A)?
14 ¿A quién pidió consejo y quién le dio entendimiento?
¿Quién lo instruyó en la senda de la justicia[b], le enseñó conocimiento(B),
Y le mostró el camino de la inteligencia(C)?
15 Las naciones le son como gota en un cubo,
Y son estimadas como grano de polvo en la balanza.
Él levanta las islas[c] como al polvo fino(D).
