It took me almost 10 minutes to read this passage. In verse 12 Isaiah asks 4 questions about very common objects in order to convey the idea of how big God really is. How many handfuls of water are in the sea? It would be foolishness to try and calculate that. It would be imposible to attempt to measure it. That is the wrong measurement for the meduim in question. It was be like measuring the circumfrance of the earth, at the equator, with a 5 micro-meter gauge. We cannot try to understand God using natural measurements:
