Sunday Scripture

To whom, then, will you compare

God?

What image will you compare

him to?

As for an idol, craftsman casts it,

and a goldsmith overlays it with

gold

and fashions silver chains for it.

A man too poor to present such an

offering

selects wood that will not rot.

He looks for a skilled craftsman

to set up an idol that will not

topple.

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the

beginning?

Have you not understood from since the

the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned above the circle

of the earth?

and its people are like

grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heaven like a

canopy,

and spreads them out like a tent to

live in.

He brings princes to naught

and reduces the rules of this

world to nothing.

No sooner are they planted,

no sooner are they sown

no sooner do they take root in

the ground,

than he blows on them and they

wither,

and a whirlwind sweeps them

away like chaff.

To whom will you compare me?

Or who is my equal? says the

Holy One.

Lift your eyes and look to the

heavens.

Who created all these?

He who brings out the starry host

one by one,

and calls them each by name.

Because of his great power and

mighty strength,

not one of them is missing.

Isaiah 40:21 - 26
