Isaiah 40:22-24
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
22 It is God Who sits above the circle (the horizon) of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; it is He Who stretches out the heavens like [gauze] curtains and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,
23 Who brings dignitaries to nothing, Who makes the judges and rulers of the earth as chaos (emptiness, falsity, and futility).
24 Yes, these men are scarcely planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely does their stock take root in the earth, when [the Lord] blows upon them and they wither, and the whirlwind or tempest takes them away like stubble.

Isaiah 40:22-24
New International Version
22 He sits enthroned(A) above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.(B)
He stretches out the heavens(C) like a canopy,(D)
and spreads them out like a tent(E) to live in.(F)
23 He brings princes(G) to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.(H)
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root(I) in the ground,
than he blows(J) on them and they wither,(K)
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.(L)
