Isaiah 40:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Whom did he consult to gain knowledge?
Who taught him the path of judgment,
or showed him the way of understanding?
15 See, the nations count as a drop in the bucket,
as a wisp of cloud on the scales;
the coastlands weigh no more than a speck.[a]
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,[b]
nor its animals be enough for burnt offerings.
