Isaiah 40:15-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

15. Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket;they are considered as a speck of dust in the scales;He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

16. Lebanon is not enough for fuel,or its animals enough for a burnt offering.

17. All the nations are as nothing before Him;they are considered by Himas nothingness and emptiness.

18. Who will you compare God with?What likeness will you compare Him to?

19. To an idol? — something that a smelter casts,and a metalworker plates with goldand makes silver welds for it?

20. To one who shapes a pedestal,choosing wood that does not rot? He looks for a skilled craftsmanto set up an idol that will not fall over.
