40:18 To whom . . . What image: Earlier in the book, idolatry was shown to be ridiculous (16:12; 37:16-19). Chapters 40–48 open up a much more extensive argument against idolatry. Idols are symbolic representations of gods and, at times, other religious concepts. Those who worship them don’t recognize the implication that they are man-made trinkets. Idols are powerless (41:7, 22-24; 48:14), give a false sense of security (42:17), delude people (44:20), and lead to severe disappointment (42:17; 45:16, 20). They cannot help those who care for them. In fact, they are so weak that they fall down (40:20; 41:7). In the end, idols compete for God’s glory (42:8) and take away human dignity (44:9; see also 41:21-29).
• The Lord, the true God, is incomparable (see 40:25; 46:5; Pss 86:8; 89:6); no one could resemble him.

(Occurrence 0) To whom then will you compare God? To what idol will you liken him?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=near/to who? liken, god and,what likeness compare to=him/it )
Isaiah uses two similar questions to emphasize that there is no idol that can compare with God. Alternate translation: “There is no one to whom you can compare God. There is no idol to which you can liken him.” (See also: figs-parallelism)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
(Occurrence 0) you
(Some words not found in UHB: and=near/to who? liken, god and,what likeness compare to=him/it )
This is plural and refers to all of God’s people.
