Isaiah 40:13-15
The Voice

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.

Or as His (B)counselor has informed Him?

And are counted as a speck of (F)dust on the scales;
Behold, He lifts up the coastlands like fine dust.
