Isaiah 40:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ Don’t you know who made everything?
    Haven’t you heard about him?
Hasn’t it been told to you from the beginning?
    Haven’t you understood it ever since the earth was made?
²² God sits on his throne high above the earth.
    Its people look like grasshoppers to him.
He spreads out the heavens like a cover.
    He sets it up like a tent to live in.
²³ He takes the power of princes away from them.
    He reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
