Isaiah 40:17-19
Amplified Bible
17
All the nations are as nothing before Him,
They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.
18
To whom then will you liken God?
Or with what likeness will you compare Him?(A)
19
As for the cast image (idol), a metalworker casts it,
A goldsmith overlays it with gold
And a silversmith casts its silver chains.

New King James Version
17 All nations before Him are as (A)nothing,
And (B)they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
18 To whom then will you (C)liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to Him?
19 (D)The workman molds an image,
The goldsmith overspreads it with gold,
And the silversmith casts silver chains.

and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
