Isaiah 40:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 40:21

19 ^aThe workman molds an image,
The goldsmith overspreads it with gold,
And the silversmith casts silver chains.

20 Whoever is too impoverished for such¹ a contribution
Chooses a tree that will not rot;
He seeks for himself a skillful workman
^aTo prepare a carved image that will not totter.

21 ^aHave you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who ^astretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a ^btent to dwell in.

23 He¹ brings the ^aprinces to nothing;
He makes the judges of the earth useless.

24 Scarcely shall they be planted,
Scarcely shall they be sown,
Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth,
When He will also blow on them,
And they will wither,
And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.

25 “To^a whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.

Isaiah 40:21-31

Here God tells us clearly that there is no one like Him and that His ways are not always clearly understood by those whom He has created. But He is constantly in the process of creating, and to those who wait on Him, He gives power and constant renewal of strength to mount up with wings like eagles. What an incredible God we serve!
