  1. Daniel 12:3 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8

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.
26 Lift up your eyes on high and see:
    who created these?
(F)He who brings out their host by number,
    calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
    and because he is strong in power,
    not one is missing.
