Isaías 40:18-19

18, 19. To whom… will ye liken God The conclusion is, the impossibility of adequately conceiving Jehovah’s greatness and exaltation. Likeness of him to any thing is beyond any human conception. Hence image representation is a thing in the highest degree absurd. An image! an image of metal! (not wooden as yet, and so cut and carved, as the idea is in English!) the smith casts it; the melter plates it with gold, and forms silver chains for it a process picture, with the describer as spectator; this thing to be a likeness of the incomprehensible God! So much for the metal image.
