Isaiah 40:18-25

¹⁸To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare to him? ¹⁹The image, a workman has cast [it], and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts [for it] silver chains. ²⁰He who is too impoverished for [such] an offering chooses a tree that will not rot; he seeks to him a skillful workman to set up an engraved image, that shall not be moved. ²¹Have you not known? have yet not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? ²²[It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in; ²³who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth as vanity. ²⁴Yes, they have not been planted; yes, they have not been sown; yes, their stock has not taken root in the earth: moreover he blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble. ²⁵To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.
