To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
The One who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of My great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
(Isaiah 40:25-26, NIV)
