The verse 27 is found in chapter 40 of Isaiah. Isaiah presents God as incomparable before nations, idols, and rulers. No creature can measure the heavens or advise the Creator.

¿Por qué dices, oh Jacob, y hablas tú, Israel: Mi camino es escondido de Jehová, y de mi Dios pasó mi juicio?
¿Por qué dices, Jacob, y afirmas, Israel: «Mi camino está escondido de Jehová, y mi derecho pasa inadvertido a mi Dios»?
Pourquoi dis-tu, Jacob, Pourquoi dis-tu, Israël: Ma destinée est cachée devant l'Eternel, Mon droit passe inaperçu devant mon Dieu?
Perchè diresti, o Giacobbe; e perchè, o Israele, parleresti così: La mia via è occulta al Signore, e la mia ragione non viene più davanti all’Iddio mio?
Por que dizes, ó Jacó, e tu falas, ó Israel: O meu caminho está encoberto ao SENHOR, e o meu juízo passa despercebido ao meu Deus?
