“Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?”
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand, or calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, or weighed the mountains in a scale and the hills in a balance, establishing a series of rhetorical questions that emphasize God's incomparable greatness and power. The oracle uses the measurement and ordering of creation to suggest God's comprehensive sovereignty and control. The questions invite the listener to recognize the absurdity of comparing any earthly power to God.
