Isaiah 40:21 Context
19The workeman melteth a grauen image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it ouer with golde, and casteth siluer chaines. 20He that is so impouerished that he hath no oblation, chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh vnto him a cunning workeman, to prepare a grauen image that shall not be mooued. 21Haue yee not knowen? haue yee not heard? hath it not beene tolde you from the beginning? haue yee not vnderstood from the foundations of the earth? 22It is he that sitteth vpon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grashoppers; that stretcheth out the heauens as a curtaine, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwel in: 23That bringeth the princes to nothing; hee maketh the Iudges of the earth as vanitie.
