Isaiah 40:12 in Context — Isaiah 40
10 Voici, le Seigneur, l’Éternel vient avec puissance, Et de son bras il commande; Voici, le salaire est avec lui, Et les rétributions le précèdent.
11 Comme un berger, il paîtra son troupeau, Il prendra les agneaux dans ses bras, Et les portera dans son sein; Il conduira les brebis qui allaitent.
12 Qui a mesuré les eaux dans le creux de sa main, Pris les dimensions des cieux avec la paume, Et ramassé la poussière de la terre dans un tiers de mesure? Qui a pesé les montagnes au crochet, Et les collines à la balance?
13 Qui a sondé l’esprit de l’Éternel, Et qui l’a éclairé de ses conseils?
14 Avec qui a-t-il délibéré pour en recevoir de l’instruction? Qui lui a appris le sentier de la justice? Qui lui a enseigné la sagesse, Et fait connaître le chemin de l’intelligence?
