Isaiah 40:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
in his arms he gathers the lambs,
Carrying them in his bosom,
leading the ewes with care.(A)
Power of God and the Vanity of Idols
12 Who has measured with his palm the waters,
marked off the heavens with a span,
held in his fingers the dust of the earth,
weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?[a]
13 Who has directed the spirit of the Lord,
or instructed him as his counselor?(B)
