Isaiah 40:24

Comfort For God's People

²³ He is the one who reduces rulers to nothing; he makes the earth's leaders insignificant. ²⁴ Indeed, they are barely planted; yes, they are barely sown; yes, they barely take root in the earth, and then he blows on them, causing them to dry up, and the wind carries them away like straw. ²⁵ "To whom can you compare me? Whom do I resemble?" says the Holy One.
