Isaiah 40:23 in context

  1. 21Haven’t you known?
    Haven’t you heard?
    Haven’t you been told from the beginning?
    Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?
  2. 22It is he 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,
  3. 23who brings princes to nothing,
    who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
  4. 24They are planted scarcely.
    They are sown scarcely.
    Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground.
    He merely blows on them, and they wither,
    and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
  5. 25“To whom then will you liken me?
    Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
