Isaiah 40:11-17 Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their young.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their young. ¹² Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprised in a measure the dust of the earth, and weighed in the scale-beam the mountains, and the hills in balances? ¹³ Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord? and who was his counsellor that he could have given him information? ¹⁴ With whom took he counsel, that he gave him understanding, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and caused him to know the way of understanding? ¹⁵ Behold, nations are as a drop out of a bucket, and as the small dust of the balance are they accounted: behold, isles are like the flying dust. ¹⁶ And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt-offering. ¹⁷ All the nations are as naught before him; less than nothing, and vanity are they accounted to him.
