Isaiah 40:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version

13 Who could know the Lord’s mind?
    Who could be his teacher or give him advice?
14 Did the Lord ask for anyone’s help?
    Did anyone teach him to be fair?
Did anyone teach him knowledge?
    Did anyone teach him to be wise?
15 Look, all the nations in the world are like one small drop in the bucket.
    If the Lord took all the faraway nations and put them on his scales,
    they would be like small pieces of dust.

    and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,(C)
    or showed him the path of understanding?(D)

15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
    they are regarded as dust on the scales;(E)
    he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.(F)
