“To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?”
The rhetorical question 'To whom will you liken me or compare me' reasserts God's incomparability in response to idolatry, denying that any image can capture divine reality. This verse grounds theological epistemology in the impossibility of representational theology when God transcends all material categories. The implied answer is 'none'—not from arrogant exclusivism but from the radical transcendence of the Creator over creation. This establishes the proper response to all idol worship: not mere prohibition but recognition that such comparison categories are fundamentally inapplicable.
