Do you not know?

Comfort, comfort my people,
       says your God.

A voice of one calling:
       "In the desert prepare
       the way for YHWH;
       make straight in the wilderness
       a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be raised up,
       every mountain and hill made low;
       the rough ground shall become level,
       the rugged places a plain.

And the glory of YHWH will be revealed,
       and all mankind together will see it.
       For the mouth of YHWH has spoken."

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
       or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
       Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
       or weighed the mountains on the scales
       and the hills in a balance?

Who has understood the mind of YHWH,
or instructed him as his counselor?

Whom did YHWH consult to enlighten him,
       and who taught him the right way?
       Who was it that taught him knowledge
       or showed him the path of understanding?

Do you not know?
       Have you not heard?
       Has it not been told you from the beginning?
       Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
       and its people are like grasshoppers.
       He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
       and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

He brings princes to naught
       and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing
No sooner are they planted,
       no sooner are they sown,
       no sooner do they take root in the ground,
       than he blows on them and they wither,
       and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

"To whom will you compare me?
       Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
       Who created all these?
       He who brings out the starry host one by one,
       and calls them each by name.
       Because of his great power and mighty strength,
       not one of them is missing.

Why do you say, O Jacob,
       and complain, O Israel,
       "My way is hidden from YHWH;
my cause is disregarded by my God"?

Do you not know?
       Have you not heard?
      
YHWH is the everlasting God,
       the Creator of the ends of the earth.
       He will not grow tired or weary,
       and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
       and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in YHWH
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:1,3-5,12-14,21-31 NIV

[Creator from the beginning, let me glimpse your understanding and soar and run and not be faint.]
