20 (A)Anyone who cannot afford silver or gold[a]
    chooses wood that will not rot.
He finds a skillful worker
    to make an image that won't fall down.

21 Do you not know?
    Were you not told long ago?
    Have you not heard how the world began?
22 It was made by the one who sits on his throne
    above the earth and beyond the sky;
    the people below look as tiny as ants.
He stretched out the sky like a curtain,
    like a tent in which to live.
