From the Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 40:12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah 40:13
Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel?
Isaiah 40:14
Whom did he consult, and who made him understand? Who taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?
Isaiah 40:15
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the dust on the scales; behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.
Isaiah 40:16
Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
Isaiah 40:17
All the nations are as nothing before him, they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
Isaiah 40:18
To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him?
Isaiah 40:18-20
To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him? An idol! A craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains. He who is too impoverished for an offering chooses wood that will not rot; he seeks out a skillful craftsman to set up an idol that will not move.
Isaiah 40:25
To whom then will you compare me that I should be like him? Says the Holy One.
Isaiah 40:21
Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isaiah 40:22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
