18 "To whom then will ye liken God? Or what similitude will ye set up unto him?
19 Shall the carver make him a carved image? And shall the goldsmith cover him with gold, or cast him into a form of silver plates?
20 Moreover, shall the image maker, that the poor man which is disposed may have something to set up also, seek out and choose a tree, that is not rotten, and carve thereout an image, that moveth not?
21 Know ye not this? Heard ye never of it? Hath it not been preached unto you since the beginning? Have ye not been informed of this since the foundation of the earth was laid?
22 That he sitteth upon the Circle of the world, and that all the inhabiters of the world are, in comparison of him, but as grasshoppers; That he spreadeth out the heavens as a covering, he stretcheth them out as a tent to dwell in;
23 That he bringeth princes to nothing, and the judges of the earth to dust;
24 so that they be not planted, nor sown again, neither their stock rooted again in the earth? For as soon as he bloweth upon them, they wither and fade away, like the straw in a whirlwind.
25 'To whom now will ye liken me, and whom shall I be like?' sayeth the holy one.
