And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?
Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
Or as His counselor has taught Him? ...

Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.
All nations before Him are as nothing,
And they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.

And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
[249]
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. ...
“‘To whom then will you liken Me?’ ...
Says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.

‘My way is hidden from the Lord,
