Isaiah 40:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Isaiah 40:15

13 ^aWho has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
Or as His counselor has taught Him?

14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him,
And ^ataught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket,
And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn,
Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.

17 All nations before Him are as ^anothing,
And ^bthey are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.

18 To whom then will you ^aliken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to Him?

19 ^aThe workman molds an image,
The goldsmith overspreads it with gold,
And the silversmith casts silver chains.

20 Whoever is too impoverished for such¹ a contribution
Chooses a tree that will not rot;
He seeks for himself a skillful workman
^aTo prepare a carved image that will not totter.
