Isaiah 40:18-29

18To whom then will ye likenH1819 1GodH410? and what likenessH1823 will ye compare unto him?

19The workman casteth a graven imageH6459, and the goldsmithH6884 spreadeth it over with goldH2091, and casteth silverH3701 chains [for it].

20He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a treeH6086 that doth not rotH7537; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepareH3559 a graven imageH6459 that shall not be moved.

21— Do ye not knowH3045? Have ye not heardH8085? Hath it not been toldH5046 you from the beginning? Have ye not understoodH995 the foundation of the earthH776?

22[It is] he that sitteth upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth out the heavensH8064 as a gauze curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tentH168 to dwellH3427 in;

23that bringeth the princes to nothingH369, that maketh the judgesH8199 of the earthH776 as vanity.

24Scarcely are they plantedH5193, scarcely are they sownH2232, scarcely hath their stock takenH5375 rootH8327 in the earthH776, but he alsoH1571 bloweth upon them and they witherH3001, and the whirlwind taketh them awayH5375 as stubbleH7179.

25To whom then will ye likenH1819 me, or shall I be equal? saith the HolyH6918 OneH6918.

26LiftH5375 up your eyesH5869 on highH4791, and seeH7200! Who hath createdH1254 these thingsH428, bringing out their hostH6635 by numberH4557? He calleth them all by nameH8034; through the greatnessH7230 of his might and strengthH3581 of powerH3581, not oneH376 faileth.

27WhyH4100 sayest thou, JacobH3290, and speakest, O IsraelH3478, My wayH1870 is hidH5641 from Jehovah, and my rightH4941 is passedH5674 awayH5674 from my 2GodH430?

28Dost thou not knowH3045, hast thou not heardH8085, that the everlasting 3GodH430, Jehovah, the Creator of the endsH7098 of the earthH776, fainteth not nor tireth? There is no searchingH2714 of his understandingH8394.

29He giveth powerH3581 to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strengthH3581.
