Isaiah 40:13-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord,or instructed him as his counselor?

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.

16. Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,nor its animals be enough for burnt offerings.

17. Before him all the nations are as nought,as nothing and void he counts them.

18. To whom can you liken God?With what likeness can you confront him?
