Translation commentary on Baruch 3:35

No other can be compared to him: The Greek does not make a comparison between God and other gods. This may or may not have been in the author’s mind, but a translation such as Good News Translation (“there is none like him”) is good here since it does not compare God to any other god in particular. Compare Isa 43.11; 44.6-7; 45.18.
