Isaiah 40:17-19
International Standard Version

17 All the nations are as nothing before him—
    they are reckoned by him as[a] nothing and chaos.

18 “To whom, then, will you compare me,[b] the One who is[c] God?
    Or to what image will you liken me?[d]
19 To an idol? A craftsman makes[e] the image,
    and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
        and casts silver chains.
