167. “However, for among all the wise men etc.” **However, [**regarding the clause] “for among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms,” this I found in the books of the ancients, that they, the camps and armies above, although they were charged over the affairs of the world and He commanded each to perform his task, who is he who can do even one of them like You? For You are inscribed in Your value, and You are inscribed in Your deeds, [more] than all of them. This is “there is none like You” [Jeremiah 10:7], O Lord. Who is a hidden, holy one above and below, who will act and be like You, and will resemble You in all the deeds of the holy King in heaven and in earth? But they are “vanity [tohu], and their delectable things shall not profit” [Isaiah 44:9]. With regard to the Holy One, blessed be He, it is stated: “In the beginning, God created...” whereas with regard to their kingdom it is stated: “And the earth was unformed [tohu] and void” [Genesis 1:2].
