Isaiah 40:24 in Context — Isaiah 40
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.
25 A qui me comparerez-vous, pour que je lui ressemble? Dit le Saint.
26 Levez vos yeux en haut, et regardez! Qui a créé ces choses? Qui fait marcher en ordre leur armée? Il les appelle toutes par leur nom; Par son grand pouvoir et par sa force puissante, Il n’en est pas une qui fasse défaut.
