Isaiah 40:16 in Context — Isaiah 40

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?

15 Voici, les nations sont comme une goutte d’un seau, Elles sont comme de la poussière sur une balance; Voici, les îles sont comme une fine poussière qui s’envole.

16 Le Liban ne suffit pas pour le feu, Et ses animaux ne suffisent pas pour l’holocauste.

17 Toutes les nations sont devant lui comme un rien, Elles ne sont pour lui que néant et vanité.

18 A qui voulez-vous comparer Dieu? Et quelle image ferez-vous son égale?
