Isaiah 40:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,[a]
nor its animals be enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are as nought,
as nothing and void he counts them.
18 To whom can you liken God?(A)
With what likeness can you confront him?

- 40:16 Lebanon…fuel: the famed cedars would not be enough to keep the fires of sacrifice burning.
Isaiah 40:16-18
King James Version
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
