Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
KJV
Levate in excelsum oculos vestros, et videte quis creavit hæc : qui educit in numero militiam eorum, et omnes ex nomine vocat ; præ multitudine fortitudinis et roboris, virtutisque ejus, neque unum reliquum fuit.
Vulgate
ἀναβλέψατε εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἴδετε· τίς κατέδειξεν πάντα ταῦτα; ὁ ἐκφέρων κατ’ ἀριθμὸν τὸν κόσμον αὐτοῦ, πάντας ἐπ’ ὀνόματι καλέσει ἀπὸ πολλῆς δόξης, καὶ ἐν κράτει ἰσχύος οὐδέν σε ἔλαθεν.
LXX
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
