Isaiah 40:15 in Context — Isaiah 40
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?
15 Eis que as nações [lhe] são consideradas como uma gota de balde, e como o pó miúdo das balanças; eis que ele levanta as ilhas como poeira.
16 Nem [todo] o Líbano seria suficiente para o fogo, nem seus animais bastam para um holocausto.
17 Todas as nações são como nada perante ele; menos que nada e vazio ele as considera.
