Contextual Overview

¹⁸ Can you compare God to anything? Can you compare him to an image of anything? ¹⁹ An idol is formed by a craftsman, and a goldsmith covers it with gold and makes silver chains for it. ²⁰ A poor person cannot buy those expensive statues, so he finds a tree that will not rot. Then he finds a skilled craftsman to make it into an idol that will not fall over. ²¹ Surely you know. Surely you have heard. Surely from the beginning someone told you. Surely you understand how the earth was created. ²² God sits on his throne above the circle of the earth, and compared to him, people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the skies like a piece of cloth and spreads them out like a tent to sit under. ²³ He makes rulers unimportant and the judges of this world worth nothing. ²⁴ They are like plants that are placed in the ground, like seeds that are planted. As soon as they begin to grow strong, he blows on them and they die, and the wind blows them away like chaff. ²⁵ God, the Holy One, says, "Can you compare me to anyone? Is anyone equal to me?" ²⁶ Look up to the skies. Who created all these stars? He leads out the army of heaven one by one and calls all the stars by name. Because he is strong and powerful, not one of them is missing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal, saith the Holy One?] Or be upon a level with? since the greatest of men on earth are brought to nothing by him, and are no more: this is repeated from

Isaiah 40:18 and supported with fresh strength of argument, to show that there is nothing whatever, that is a fit likeness and similitude, by which to represent the Lord.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To whom then will ye liken me? - (See Isaiah 40:18) The prophet having thus set forth the majesty and glory of God, asks now with great emphasis, what could be an adequate and proper representation of such a God. And if God was such a Being, how great was the folly of idolatry, and how vain all their confidence in the gods which their own hands had made.
