12In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?
13By whom has the spirit of the Lord been guided, or who has been his teacher?
14Who gave him suggestions, and made clear to him the right way? who gave him knowledge, guiding him in the way of wisdom?
15See, the nations are to him like a drop hanging from a bucket, and like the small dust in the scales: he takes up the islands like small dust.
16And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned offering.
17All the nations are as nothing before him; even less than nothing, a thing of no value.
18Whom then is God like, in your opinion? or what will you put forward as a comparison with him?
