Isaiah 40:16-18
Easy-to-Read Version

16 All the trees in Lebanon are not enough
    to burn on the altar for the Lord.
And all the animals in Lebanon
    are not enough to kill for a sacrifice.
17 Compared to God, all the nations of the world are nothing.
    Compared to him, they are worth nothing at all.

People Cannot Imagine What God Is Like

18 Can you compare God to anything?
    Can you make a picture of God?
