Isaiah 40:9-14
New International Version
9 You who bring good news(A) to Zion,
go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,[a](B)
lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
say to the towns of Judah,
“Here is your God!”(C)
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes(D) with power,(E)
and he rules(F) with a mighty arm.(G)
See, his reward(H) is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:(I)
He gathers the lambs in his arms(J)
and carries them close to his heart;(K)
he gently leads(L) those that have young.(M)
12 Who has measured the waters(N) in the hollow of his hand,(O)
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?(P)
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?(Q)
13 Who can fathom the Spirit[b](R) of the Lord,
or instruct the Lord as his counselor?(S)
14 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,(T)
or showed him the path of understanding?(U)
