Isaiah 40:15


Isaiah 40:14 Isaiah 40:15 (KJV) Isaiah 40:16
With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
