5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
And unto whom do ye liken God, And what likeness do ye compare to Him?
And unto whom do ye liken Me, And `am' I equal? saith the Holy One.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
Who `is' as Jehovah our God, He is exalting `Himself' to sit?
Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great `art' Thou, and great Thy name in might. Who doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee.
who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,
who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

Commentary on Isaiah 46 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 46
God, by the prophet here, designing shortly to deliver them out of their captivity, prepared them for that deliverance by possessing them with a detestation of idols and with a believing confidence in God, even their own God.
Isa 46:1-4
We are here told,
Isa 46:5-13
The deliverance of Israel by the destruction of Babylon (the general subject of all these chapters) is here insisted upon, and again promised, for the conviction both of idolaters who set up as rivals with God, and of oppressors who were enemies to the people of God.
