December 5

Who hath measured the waters
in the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the span,
and comprehended the dust
of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance?

Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord,
or being his counsellor hath taught him?

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.

All nations before him are as nothing;
and they are counted to him
less than nothing, and vanity.

Isaiah 40:12-17
