Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, or has instructed him as his counselor?Whom did he consult to gain knowledge? Who taught him the path of judgment, or showed him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations count as a drop in the bucket, as dust on the scales; the coastlands weigh no more than powder ...
Before him all the nations are as nought, as nothing and void he accounts them.
To whom can you liken God? With what equal can you confront him?
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Was it not foretold you from the beginning? Have you not understood?
He sits enthroned above the vault of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; He stretches out the heavens like a veil, spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
To whom can you liken me as an equal? says the Holy One.
Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"?
Do you not know or have you not heard? The LORD is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny.
He gives strength to the fainting; for the weak he makes vigor abound.
Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall,
They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles' wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
