Isaiah 40:12-31

Who hath measured
<04058> (8804)
the waters
<04325>
in the hollow of his hand
<08168>_,
and meted out
<08505> (8765)
heaven
<08064>
with the span
<02239>_,
and comprehended
<03557> (8804)
the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>
in a measure
<07991>_,
and weighed
<08254> (8804)
the mountains
<02022>
in scales
<06425>_,
and the hills
<01389>
in a balance
<03976>_?
{a measure: Heb. a tierce}
Who hath directed
<08505> (8765)
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
or [being] his counsellor
<0376> <06098>
hath taught
<03045> (8686)
him? {his...: Heb. man of his counsel}
With whom took he counsel
<03289> (8738)_,
and [who] instructed
<0995> (8799)
him, and taught
<03925> (8762)
him in the path
<0734>
of judgment
<04941>_,
and taught
<03925> (8762)
him knowledge
<01847>_,
and shewed
<03045> (8686)
to him the way
<01870>
of understanding
<08394>_?
{instructed...: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}
Behold, the nations
<01471>
[are] as a drop
<04752>
of a bucket
<01805>_,
and are counted
<02803> (8738)
as the small dust
<07834>
of the balance
<03976>_:
behold, he taketh up
<05190> (8799)
the isles
<0339>
as a very little thing
<01851>_.
And Lebanon
<03844>
[is] not
<0369>
sufficient
<01767>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_,
nor the beasts
<02416>
thereof sufficient
<01767>
for a burnt offering
<05930>_.
All nations
<01471>
before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted
<02803> (8738)
to him less than nothing
<0657>_,
and vanity
<08414>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
God
<0410>_?
or what likeness
<01823>
will ye compare
<06186> (8799)
unto him?
The workman
<02796>
melteth
<05258> (8804)
a graven image
<06459>_,
and the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)
spreadeth
<07554> (8762)
it over with gold
<02091>_,
and casteth
<06884> (8802)
silver
<03701>
chains
<07577>_.
He that [is] so impoverished
<05533> (8794) (8676) <05534> (8765)
that he hath no oblation
<08641>
chooseth
<0977> (8799)
a tree
<06086>
[that] will not rot
<07537> (8799)_;
he seeketh
<01245> (8762)
unto him a cunning
<02450>
workman
<02796>
to prepare
<03559> (8687)
a graven image
<06459>_,
[that] shall not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.
{is so...: Heb. is poor of oblation}
Have ye not known
<03045> (8799)_?
have ye not heard
<08085> (8799)_?
hath it not been told
<05046> (8717)
you from the beginning
<07218>_?
have ye not understood
<0995> (8689)
from the foundations
<04146>
of the earth
<0776>_?
[It is] he that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
upon the circle
<02329>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof [are] as grasshoppers
<02284>_;
that stretcheth out
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>
as a curtain
<01852>_,
and spreadeth them out
<04969> (8799)
as a tent
<0168>
to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:
{It is...: or, Him that}
That bringeth
<05414> (8802)
the princes
<07336> (8802)
to nothing; he maketh
<06213> (8804)
the judges
<08199> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
as vanity
<08414>_.
Yea, they shall not be planted
<05193> (8738)_;
yea, they shall not be sown
<02232> (8795)_:
yea, their stock
<01503>
shall not take root
<08327> (8782)
in the earth
<0776>_:
and he shall also blow
<05398> (8804)
upon them, and they shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,
and the whirlwind
<05591>
shall take
<05375> (8799)
them away as stubble
<07179>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
me, or shall I be equal
<07737> (8799)_?
saith
<0559> (8799)
the Holy One
<06918>_.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
your eyes
<05869>
on high
<04791>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
who hath created
<01254> (8804)
these [things], that bringeth out
<03318> (8688)
their host
<06635>
by number
<04557>_:
he calleth
<07121> (8799)
them all by names
<08034>
by the greatness
<07230>
of his might
<0202>_,
for that [he is] strong
<0533>
in power
<03581>_;
not one
<0376>
faileth
<05737> (8738)_.
Why sayest
<0559> (8799)
thou, O Jacob
<03290>_,
and speakest
<01696> (8762)_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
My way
<01870>
is hid
<05641> (8738)
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and my judgment
<04941>
is passed over
<05674> (8799)
from my God
<0430>_?
Hast thou not known
<03045> (8804)_?
hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)_,
[that] the everlasting
<05769>
God
<0430>_,
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Creator
<01254> (8802)
of the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>_,
fainteth
<03286> (8799)
not, neither is weary
<03021> (8799)_?
[there is] no searching
<02714>
of his understanding
<08394>_.
He giveth
<05414> (8802)
power
<03581>
to the faint
<03287>_;
and to [them that have] no might
<0202>
he increaseth
<07235> (8686)
strength
<06109>_.
Even the youths
<05288>
shall faint
<03286> (8799)
and be weary
<03021> (8799)_,
and the young men
<0970>
shall utterly
<03782> (8800)
fall
<03782> (8735)_:
But they that wait
<06960> (8802)
upon the LORD
<03068>
shall renew
<02498> (8686)
[their] strength
<03581>_;
they shall mount up
<05927> (8799)
with wings
<083>
as eagles
<05404>_;
they shall run
<07323> (8799)_,
and not be weary
<03021> (8799)_;
[and] they shall walk
<03212> (8799)_,
and not faint
<03286> (8799)_.
{renew: Heb. change}
