Isaiah 40:17-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. All the nations in his sight are as if they did not exist, and they are considered by him as if they were nothingness and emptiness.

18. Therefore, to whom would you liken God? Or with what image would you replace him?

19. Should the workman cast a statue? Or has the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?

20. He has chosen strong wood that will not decay. The skillful artisan seeks a way to set up an idol that cannot be moved.

21. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been announced to you from the beginning? Have you not understood the foundations of the earth?
