Isaiah 40:22

Comfort For God's People

²¹
Do you [who worship idols] not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been told to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth [the omnipotence of God and the stupidity of bowing to idols]?
²² 
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
[It is He] who stretches out the heavens like a veil
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
²³
It is He who reduces dignitaries to nothing,
Who makes the judges (rulers) of the earth meaningless (useless).
