Isaiah 40:24-26
Legacy Standard Bible
24 [a]Scarcely have they been planted;
[b]Scarcely have they been sown;
[c]Scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
But He merely blows on them, and they [d]wither,
And the (A)storm carries them away like stubble.
25 “(B)To whom then will you liken Me
That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One.
26 (C)Lift up your eyes on high
And see (D)who has created these stars,
The (E)One who leads forth their host by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the (F)greatness of His vigor and the [e]strength of His power,
(G)Not one of them is missing.
