Isaiah 40:12
International Standard Version
Who is Like the Lord?
12 “Who has measured the waters of the sea[a]
in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens
by the width of his hand?[b]
Who has enclosed the dust of the earth
in a measuring bowl,
or weighed the mountains
in scales
and the hills in a balance?

International Standard Version
The Lord will Defend Jerusalem
4 For this is what the Lord told me:
“Just as a lion or a young lion growls over his objects of prey,[a]—
even when a whole band of shepherds is called out against it,
it is not alarmed at their shouting
or disturbed by their clamor—
so the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will come down
to do battle on Mount Zion and on its hill.
