Yahweh Alone is God | September 26, 2022

Isaiah 40:18–26—
18 To whom then will you liken God,
    or what likeness compare with Him?
19 An idol! A craftsman casts it,
    and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
    and casts for it silver chains.
20 He who is too impoverished for an offering
    chooses wood that will not rot;
    he seeks out a skillful craftsman
    to set up an idol that will not move.
21 Do you not know? Do you not hear?
    Has it not been told you from the beginning?
    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
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 like a tent to dwell in;
23 who brings princes to nothing,
    and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
    scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
    when He blows on them, and they wither,
    and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
25 To whom then will you compare Me,
    that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:
    who created these?
    He who brings out their host by number,
    calling them all by name;
    by the greatness of His might
    and because He is strong in power,
    not one is missing.
