  1. Daniel 12:3 Or who impart wisdom

22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who (A)stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a (B)tent to dwell in.
23 He [a]brings the (C)princes to nothing;
He makes the judges of the earth useless.

24 Scarcely shall they be planted,
Scarcely shall they be sown,
Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth,
When He will also blow on them,
And they will wither,
And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.

25 “To(D) whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
(E)He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.
