Isaiah 40:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ He brings princes to naught
    and reduces the rulers of the earth to nothing.
²⁴ Scarcely have crops been planted or sown,
    scarcely have their stems taken root in the ground,
before he breathes on them and they wither,
    and storm winds carry them off like chaff.
²⁵ To whom then can you compare me,
    or who is my equal? says the Holy One.
