Isaiah 40:17-21

17Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing.

18With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him?

19As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it.

20A 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.

21Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
