“To whom then will you liken me?
Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 40:25 in context
Isaiah 40:22–28
22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,
23
who brings princes to nothing,
who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
24
They are planted scarcely.
They are sown scarcely.
Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground.
He merely blows on them, and they wither,
and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
25
Selected verse
“To whom then will you liken me?
Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
26
Lift up your eyes on high,
and see who has created these,
who brings out their army by number.
He calls them all by name.
By the greatness of his might,
and because he is strong in power,
not one is lacking.
27
Why do you say, Jacob,
and speak, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD,
and the justice due me is disregarded by my God”?
28
Haven’t you known?
Haven’t you heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint.
He isn’t weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
