Isaiah 40:12 in Context — Isaiah 40
10 Eis que o Senhor DEUS virá com poder; e seu braço governará por ele; eis que sua retribuição [virá] com ele, e seu pagamento diante de si.
11 Como pastor ele apascentará seu rebanho; em seus braços recolherá aos cordeirinhos, e os levará em seu colo; ele guiará mansamente as que tiveram filhotes.
12 Quem mediu com seu punho as águas, e tomou a medida dos céus aos palmos? E [quem] recolheu numa caixa de medida o pó da terra, e pesou os montes com pesos, e os morros com balanças?
13 Quem guiou o Espírito do SENHOR? E que conselheiro o ensinou?
14 Com quem ele tomou conselho? [Quem] lhe deu entendimento, e lhe ensinou o caminho do juízo, e lhe ensinou conhecimento, e lhe mostrou o caminho do entendimento?
