21Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22He is the one who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

23who brings princes to nothing, and makes the judges of the earth like emptiness.

24Scarcely are they planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he merely blows on them and they wither, and a storm carries them away like stubble.

25To whom then will you compare me, that I should be equal? says the Holy One.

26Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling all of them by name. Because of the greatness of his might and the strength of his power, not one is missing.
