Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

9 Get thee up upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tidings to Zion; lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, be not afraid! say unto the cities of Judah, Behdld your God

10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a strong one, his arm ruling for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry (them) in his bosom: he shall tend those that give suck.

12 Who hath measured the waters with the hollow of his hand, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills in scales?

13 Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord, and, as the man of his counsel, made him to know;

14 With whom took he counsel, and he caused him to discern, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him know- ledge, and made him to know the way of discernment?

15 Behold, nations (are) as a drop from a bucket, and are counted as a grain on the scales: behold, he will lift up the isles as fine dust.

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, nor its beasts sufficient for (a burnt) sacrifice.
