Isaiah 40:10–15

10  Behold, the Lord God will come ||wwith strong hand,

And xhis arm shall rule for him:

yBehold, his reward is with him,

yAnd ||his work before him.

11  zHe shall afeed his flock like a shepherd:

bHe shall gather athe lambs with his arm,

And ccarry them in his bosom,

And dshall gently lead those ||that are with young.

12  eWho hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,

And imeted out heaven with the span,

And comprehended the dust of the earth in †a measure,

And fweighed the mountains in gscales,

And the hills in ga balance?

13  hWho hath idirected the Spirit of the Lord,

jOr being †his counseller hath taught him?

14  With whom took he counsel, and who †instructed him,

And taught him in the path of judgment,

And ktaught him knowledge,

And shewed to him the way of †understanding?

15  Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,

And are counted as lthe small dust of the balance:

Behold, he taketh up mthe isles nas a very little thing.
