²¹ Surely you know the truth, don’t you?
    Surely you have heard.
    Surely someone told you long ago.
    Surely you understand who made the earth.
²² It is the Lord who sits above the circle of the earth.
    And compared to him, people are like grasshoppers.
He rolled open the skies like a piece of cloth.
    He stretched out the skies like a tent to sit under.
²³ He takes away the power of rulers.
    He makes the world’s leaders completely worthless.
