Isaiah 40:12-31 - The Greatness Of God
12 Who has measured [the] waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off [the] heavens with span, comprehended the dust of the earth in third of a measure and weighed out [the] mountains in the scales, and [the] hills in a balance? 13 Who has measured up the spirit of Yahweh or informed him [as] {his counselor}? 14 With whom has he consulted, that he enlightened him and taught him [the] path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and made [the] way of understanding known to him? 15 Look! [The] nations [are] like a drop from a bucket, and they are counted like dust of [the] balances! Look! He weighs [the] islands like a thin covering. 16 And Lebanon [is] not enough to light a fire, and its animals not enough for a burnt offering. 17 All the nations [are] like nothing before him; they are counted by him as nothing and emptiness.
18 And to whom will you liken God? And to what likeness will you compare him? 19 A craftsman pours out the idol, and a {goldsmith} overlays it with gold, and [he] smelts chains of silver. 20 The one who is [too] impoverished [for] a gift chooses wood [that] will not rot; he seeks a skillful artisan for himself to set up an image [that] will not be knocked over.
21 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told to you from [the] {beginning}? Have you not understood [from] the foundation of the earth? 22 [He is] the one who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants [are] like grasshoppers; the one who stretches out [the] heavens like a veil and spreads them out like tent to live [in], 23 the one who brings princes to nothing; he makes rulers of [the] earth like nothing. 24 Indeed, hardly are they planted; indeed, hardly [are they] sown; indeed, hardly has their shoot taken root in the earth when he blows on them and they wither, and [the] tempest carries them like stubble.
25 "And to whom you will compare me, and am I equal?" says [the] holy one. 26 Lift your eyes up [on] high, and see! Who created these? The one who brings out their host by number. He calls all them by name. Because [he is] great of power and mighty of power, no man is missing.
27 {Why} do you say, Jacob, and you speak, Israel, "My way is hidden from Yahweh, and my judgment is passed over by my God?" 28 Have you not known, or have you not heard? Yahweh [is] the God of eternity, [the] creator [of] the ends of the earth! He is not faint, and he does not grow weary! There is no searching his understanding. 29 [He] gives power to the weary, and he increases power for {the powerless}. 30 Even young people will be faint and grow weary, and [the] young will stumble, exhausted. 31 But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew [their] strength. They shall go up [with] wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not be faint.
