Isaiah 40:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁰ He who is too impoverished for such an offering
Selects a ^(A)tree that does not rot;
He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman
To ^[a]prepare ^[b]an idol that ^(B)will not totter.

^21 (C)Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood ^(D)from the foundations of the earth?
²² It is He who ^[c]sits above the ^[d](E)circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like ^(F)grasshoppers,
Who ^(G)stretches out the heavens like a ^(H)curtain
And spreads them out like a ^(I)tent to dwell in.
