Isaiah 40:11

A church father on this verse
“And that He also calls us lambs, the Spirit by the mouth of Isaiah is an unimpeachable witness: "He will feed His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs with His arm,"—using the figurative appellation of lambs, which are still more tender than sheep, to express simplicity.”
Clement of Alexandria, 3th c. — The Instructor Book 1

In context

9O thou that bringest glad tidings to Zion, go up on the high mountain; lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest glad tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, fear not; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

10Behold the Lord! The Lord is coming with strength, and his arm is with power: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

— Isaiah 40:11 —

12Who has measured the water in his hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance?

13Who has known the mind of the Lord? and who has been his counselor, to instruct him?
