Isaiah 40:21-23
American Standard Version
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not [a]understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as [b]a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in; 23 that bringeth princes to nothing; that maketh the judges of the earth as [c]vanity.
