To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to him ? saith the Holy One.

What shall I testify unto thee? what shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows

And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?

Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
