Isaiah 40:23-25

Common English Bible

²³     God makes dignitaries useless
    and the earth’s judges into nothing.
²⁴ Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
    scarcely is their shoot rooted in the earth
    when God breathes on them, and they dry up;
    the windstorm carries them off like straw.
²⁵ So to whom will you compare me,
    and who is my equal? says the holy one.
