20 But someone who is too poor to bring that kind of offering
    will choose some wood that won’t rot.
Then they look for a skilled worker.
    They pay the worker to make a statue of a god that won’t fall over.

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.
