Isaiah 40:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² God sits on his throne above the circle of the earth.
    And compared to him, people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the skies like a piece of cloth.
    He spreads them out like a tent to sit under.
²³ He makes rulers unimportant.
    He makes the judges of this world worth nothing.
²⁴ They are like plants that are placed in the ground.
    They are like seeds that are planted.
As soon as they begin to grow strong,
    he blows on them and they die.
    The wind blows them away like chaff.
