Isaiah 40:22 in Context — Isaiah 40
20 Celui que la pauvreté oblige à donner peu Choisit un bois qui résiste à la vermoulure; Il se procure un ouvrier capable, Pour faire une idole qui ne branle pas.
21 Ne le savez-vous pas? Ne l’avez-vous pas appris? Ne vous l’a-t-on pas fait connaître dès le commencement? N’avez-vous jamais réfléchi à la fondation de la terre?
22 C’est lui qui est assis au-dessus du cercle de la terre, Et ceux qui l’habitent sont comme des sauterelles; Il étend les cieux comme une étoffe légère, Il les déploie comme une tente, pour en faire sa demeure.
23 C’est lui qui réduit les princes au néant, Et qui fait des juges de la terre une vanité;
24 Ils ne sont pas même plantés, pas même semés, Leur tronc n’a pas même de racine en terre: Il souffle sur eux, et ils se dessèchent, Et un tourbillon les emporte comme le chaume.
