22. God is enthroned above the earth,and those who live on it are like grasshoppers.He stretches out the sky like a canopyand spreads it out like a tent to live in.
23. He makes rulers unimportantand makes earthly judges worth nothing.
24. They have hardly been planted.They have hardly been sown.They have hardly taken root in the ground.Then he blows on them and they wither,and a windstorm sweeps them away like straw.
