Isaiah 40:11 Context
9¶ O Zion, that bringest good tydings, get thee vp into the high mountaine: O Ierusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift vp thy voyce with strength, lift it vp, be not afraid: say vnto the cities of Iudah; Behold your God. 10Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arme shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his worke before him. 11He shall feede his flocke like a shepheard: he shall gather the lambes with his arme; and carie them in his bosome, and shall gently lead those that are with yoong. 12¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand? and meted out heauen with the spanne, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountaines in scales, and the hilles in a balance? 13Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or, being his counseller, hath taught him?
