12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?(A)
Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure
or weighed the mountains on a balance
and the hills on the scales?
13 Who has directed[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
or who gave him counsel?(B)

Who taught him knowledge
and showed him the way of understanding?
