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
* 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
* he blows on them and they wither, and
the tempest carries them like stubble.
25 "And to whom you will compare me, and am I equal?" says
the holy one.
26 Lift your eyes up
on high, and see! Who created these? The one who brings out their host by number. He calls all them by name. Because
he is great of power and mighty of power, no man is missing.
