Isaiah 40:14

WisdomGod's power and sovereignty

12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?

13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?

Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?

15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

16 Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
