Isaiah 40:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Who has measured the waters of the sea[a] 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?(A)
13 Who has directed the spirit of the Lord
or as his counselor has instructed him?(B)
14 Whom did he consult for his enlightenment,
and who taught him the path of justice?
[[Who taught him knowledge
and showed him the way of understanding?
