Isaiah 40:12 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Before the exalted Lord and Ruler of the universe the whole earth and all it contains are insignificant, amount to nothing or next to nothing, yet it was His good pleasure to weigh them out and to adjust them in their proper relation.
