Contextual Overview

¹² Who has measured the oceans in the palm of his hand? Who has used his hand to measure the sky? Who has used a bowl to measure all the dust of the earth and scales to weigh the mountains and hills? ¹³ Who has known the mind of the Lord or been able to give him advice? ¹⁴ Whom did he ask for help? Who taught him the right way? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way to understanding? ¹⁵ The nations are like one small drop in a bucket; they are no more than the dust on his measuring scales. To him the islands are no more than fine dust on his scales. ¹⁶ All the trees in Lebanon are not enough for the altar fires, and all the animals in Lebanon are not enough for burnt offerings. ¹⁷ Compared to the Lord all the nations are worth nothing; to him they are less than nothing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him,.... This is the same as before, only repeated in other words, the more strongly to deny that any mere creature counselled, taught, and instructed the Spirit of Christ, in the ordering and managing the works of creation:

and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding? or gave him that judgment, knowledge, and understanding in framing the world, and all things in it, in that beautiful and regular manner that it is; which shows it to be a work of wisdom, more than human or angelical, and to be purely divine; no one, angel or man, could have struck out such a path of judgment, such a way of understanding, or showed such exquisite skill and knowledge, as appear in the works of creation; see Psalms 104:24.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

With whom took he counsel - The sentiment of the former verse is repeated here, in order, probably, to make it more emphatic.

In the path of judgment - The way of judging correctly and wisely; or the way of administering justice. It denotes here his boundless wisdom as it is seen in the various arrangements of his creation and providence, by which all things keep their places, and accomplish his vast designs.
