Isaiah 40 — Context

11

Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, In His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

12

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens by the span, And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales?

13

Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, Or as His counselor has informed Him?

14

With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge And informed Him of the way of understanding?

15

Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales; Behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

Even Lebanon is not enough to burn, Nor its beasts enough for a burnt offering.

All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.
