Isaiah 40:22-24

Modern English Version

²² It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth,
    and the inhabitants are as grasshoppers,
who stretches out the heavens as a curtain,
    and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in.
²³ He brings the princes to nothing;
    He makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
²⁴ Scarcely shall they be planted;
    scarcely shall they be sown;
    scarcely shall their tree take root in the earth,
when He will also blow on them,
    and they will wither,
and the whirlwind will take them away as stubble.
