Isaiah 40:11-17

Who hath weighed the mountains in scales and the dales with a balance? 13 Who hath known the mind of the Lord? and who hath been of his counsel to teach him? 14 or whom hath he consulted that he might instruct him? or who hath pointed out judgment to him? or who hath shewn him the way of knowledge? 15 If all the nations are as a drop from a cask; and are accounted as the turning of a balance; may be reckoned as spittle; 16 if Lebanon is not sufficient for a fire, nor all the beasts sufficient for an homage offering: 17 and all the nations are as nothing and reckoned as nothing:
