Isaiah 40:22-25
King James Version
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Isaiah 40:22-25
English Standard Version
22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are (A)like grasshoppers;
(B)who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23 (C)who brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
when he blows on them, and they wither,
(D)and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
25 (E)To whom then will you compare me,
that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
