24. They are like flowersfreshly sprung upand starting to grow.But when God blows on them,they wilt and are carried offlike straw in a storm.
25. The holy God asks,“Who compares with me?Is anyone my equal?”
26. Look at the evening sky!Who created the stars?Who gave them each a name?Who leads them like an army?The Lord is so powerfulthat none of the starsare ever missing.
27. You people of Israel, say,“God pays no attention to us!He doesn't care if weare treated unjustly.”But how can you say that?
