Isaiah 40:25-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 “Who will you compare Me to,(A)
or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.
26 Look up[a] and see:
who created(B) these?
He brings out the starry host by number;
He calls all of them by name.(C)
Because of His great power and strength,
not one of them is missing.
27 Jacob, why do you say,
and Israel, why do you assert:
“My way is hidden from the Lord,
and my claim is ignored by my God”?(D)
