Isaiah 40:22-24

Lexham English Bible

²² He is the one who sits above the circle of the earth,
    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
the one who stretches out the heavens like a veil
    and spreads them out like a tent to live in,
²³ the one who brings^[a] princes to nothing;
    he makes rulers of the earth like nothing.
²⁴ Indeed, hardly are they planted; indeed, hardly are they sown;
    indeed, hardly has their shoot taken root in the earth
when^[b] he blows on them and they wither,
    and the tempest carries them like stubble.
