Isaiah 40:11-17 As a shepherd He is grazing His drove, and in His arm He is cuddling the lambkins, and in His bosom He is carrying them. The pregnant He is comforting. The unweaned He is conducting."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ As a shepherd He is grazing His drove, and in His arm He is cuddling the lambkins, and in His bosom He is carrying them. The pregnant He is comforting. The unweaned He is conducting." ¹² Who measures the waters in the hollow of His hand, and regulates the heavens with a span? And Who contains, in a peck measure, the soil of all the earth, and weighs, with a balance, the mountains, and the hills with scales? ¹³ Who regulates the spirit of Yahweh, and which man is informing Him of His counsel? ¹⁴ Whom does He consult? And who is explaining things to Him, and is teaching Him, in judgment's path? And who is teaching Him knowledge, and the way of understanding is informing Him? Or, who has given to Him first and will be repaid by Him? ¹⁵ Behold! All nations are as a drop from a bucket, and as sky dust of the scales are accounted. Behold! The coastlands, as the thinnest gauze, is He transporting; and as spittle are they reckoned." ¹⁶ And Lebanon is not sufficient to consume, and all its life is not sufficient for an ascent approach." ¹⁷ And all the nations are as nothing in front of Him. Limited and a chaos are they accounted by Him.
