Isaiah 40:12-14
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?
