5 To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare to him?
To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.
For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
Who is like Yahweh, our God, Who has his seat on high,
There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might. Who should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God,
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn 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.
