Isaiah 40:19
Isaiah 40:19 New Living Translation (NLT)
Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid with gold, and decorated with silver chains?
Isaiah 40:18-20 The Message (MSG)
So who even comes close to being like God? To whom or what can you compare him? Some no-god idol? Ridiculous! It’s made in a workshop, cast in bronze, Given a thin veneer of gold, and draped with silver filigree. Or, perhaps someone will select a fine wood— olive wood, say—that won’t rot, Then hire a woodcarver to make a no-god, giving special care to its base so it won’t tip over!
