Isaiah 40:21-26

Isaiah 40:21-26

[21] Have ye not known?  have ye not heard?  hath it not been told  you from the beginning?  have ye not understood  from the foundations  of the earth?  [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.  [26] Lift up  your eyes  on high,  and behold  who hath created  these things, that bringeth out  their host  by number:  he calleth  them all by names  by the greatness  of his might,  for that he is strong  in power;  not one  faileth.
