²¹ Don’t you know, haven’t you heard or even been told
    from your earliest memories how the earth came to be?
²² Who else could have done it except God, enthroned high above the earth?
    From such a vantage people seem like grasshoppers to Him.
Who else but God could stretch out the skies as if they were a curtain,
    draw them tight, suspend them over our heads like the roof of a tent?
²³ God reduces the rulers and judges,
    the rich and powerful of the earth, to nothing;
