Isaiah 40:18-28

18To whom, then, can you compare God? To what statue can you compare him?

19Craftsmen make idols. Goldsmiths cover them with gold. Silversmiths make silver chains for them.

20The poorest people choose wood that will not rot and search out skillful craftsmen to set up idols that will not fall over.

21Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Don’t you understand the foundations of the earth?

22God is enthroned above the earth, and those who live on it are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the sky like a canopy and spreads it out like a tent to live in.

23He makes rulers unimportant and makes earthly judges worth nothing.

24They have hardly been planted. They have hardly been sown. They have hardly taken root in the ground. Then he blows on them and they wither, and a windstorm sweeps them away like straw.

25“To whom, then, can you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One.

26Look at the sky and see. Who created these things? Who brings out the stars one by one? He calls them all by name. Because of the greatness of his might and the strength of his power, not one of them is missing.

27Jacob, why do you complain? Israel, why do you say, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my rights are ignored by my God”?

28Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The eternal God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t grow tired or become weary. His understanding is beyond reach.
