Isaiah 40:24

Comfort For God's People

²³ He reduces princes to nothing
and makes judges of the earth irrational.
²⁴ They are barely planted, barely sown,
their stem hardly takes root in the ground
when He blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind carries them away like stubble. ²⁵ “Who will you compare Me to,
or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.
