Isaiah 40:16-18
New English Translation

16 Not even Lebanon could supply enough firewood for a sacrifice;[a]
its wild animals would not provide enough burnt offerings.[b]
17 All the nations are insignificant before him;
they are regarded as absolutely nothing.[c]
18 To whom can you compare God?
To what image can you liken him?
