Isaiah 40:20-22
Christian Standard Bible
20 A poor person contributes wood for a pedestal
that will not rot.[a]
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not fall over.(A)
21 Do you not know?(B)
Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning?
Have you not considered
the foundations of the earth?(C)
22 God is enthroned above the circle of the earth;
its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.(D)
He stretches out the heavens like thin cloth(E)
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.(F)
