Isaiah 40:18-23
18 aTo whom then will you liken God,bor what likeness compare with him?
19 cAn idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
20 dHe who is too impoverished for an offering
chooses wood ▼
▼Or He chooses valuable wood
that will not rot;he seeks out a skillful craftsman
to set up an idol that will not move.
21 fDo you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are glike grasshoppers;
hwho stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23 iwho brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
