Isaiah 40:22 in Context — Isaiah 40
20 O empobrecido, que não tem o que oferecer, escolhe madeira que não se estraga, [e] busca um artífice habilidoso, para preparar uma imagem que não se mova.
21 Por acaso não sabeis? Por acaso não ouvis? Ou desde o princípio não vos disseram? Por acaso não tendes entendido desde os fundamentos da terra?
22 Ele é o que está sentado sobre o globo da terra, cujos moradores são [para ele] como gafanhotos; ele é o que estende os céus como uma cortina, e os estica como uma tenda, para [neles] habitar.
23 Ele é o que torna os príncipes em nada, [e] faz juízes da terra serem como o vazio.
24 Mal foram plantados, mal foram semeados, mal seu caule forma raízes na terra; e [logo] ele sopra neles, e se secam, e um vento forte os leva como palha fina.
