18
Who will you compare God with? What likeness will you compare Him to?
Isaiah 40:18 In-Context
16
Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires, nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.
17
Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing.
18
With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him?
19
As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it.
20
A person too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot; they look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple.
