40:18 你们究竟将谁比神？用什么形像与神比较呢？
To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?
40:19 偶像由匠人铸造，银匠用金包裹，又为它铸造银链。
When the workman has cast an idol, A goldsmith overlays it with gold Also refining chains of silver for it.
40:20 穷乏献不起这样供物的，就挑选不能朽坏的树木，为自己寻找巧匠，立起不能摇动的偶像。
He that is so impoverished that he lacks an offering Chooses wood that will not rot, And seeks a skillful craftsman for himself To prepare an idol that will not be moved.
40:21 你们岂不知道么？你们岂没有听见么？从起初岂没有人告诉你们么？自从立地的根基，你们岂没有明白么？
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
40:22 祂坐在地的大圈之上，地上的居民好像蚱蜢；祂铺张诸天如幔子，展开诸天如可住的帐棚；
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;
40:23 祂使君王归于虚无，使地上的审判官成为虚空。
Who brings the princes to nought; He makes the judges of the earth as nothing.
40:24 他们是刚才栽上，刚才种上，干也刚才扎根在地里；然而祂一吹在其上，便都枯干，暴风将他们吹去，像碎秸一样。
They have scarcely been planted; They have scarcely been sown; Their stem has scarcely taken root in the earth; Nevertheless He blows on them and they are withered, And the storm wind carries them away like stubble.
40:25 那圣者说，你们将谁比我，叫他与我相等呢？
To whom will you liken Me, That I should be compared? Says the Holy One.
40:26 你们向高处举目，看谁创造了这万象，按数目将它们领出；祂一一称其名。因祂的权能，又因祂的大能大力，它们连一个都不缺。
Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls all of them by name. Through the greatness of His might and the strength of His power Not one of them is missing.
40:27 雅各阿，你为何说，以色列阿，你为何言，我的道路向耶和华隐藏，我的冤屈被我的神忽略了？
Why do you say, O Jacob, And why do you speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from Jehovah, And my judgment has been passed over by my God?
40:28 你岂不知道么？你岂不曾听见么？永远的神耶和华，创造地极的主，并不疲乏，也不困倦；祂的聪明无法测度。
Do you not know, Or have you not heard, That the eternal God, Jehovah, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Does not faint and does not become weary? There is no searching out of His understanding.
40:29 疲乏的，祂赐能力；无力的，祂加力量。
He gives power to the faint, And to those who have no vigor He multiplies strength.
40:30 就是少年人也要疲乏困倦，年轻人也必力竭跌倒；
Although youths will faint and become weary, And young men will collapse exhausted;
40:31 但那等候耶和华的必重新得力；他们必如鹰展翅上腾；他们奔跑却不困倦，行走却不疲乏。
Yet those who wait on Jehovah will renew their strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles; They will run and will not faint; They will walk and will not become weary.
