Isaiah 40:20-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
20
He who is too impoverished for
such
an offering
Selects a tree that does not rot;
He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman
To prepare an idol that will not totter.
21
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23
It is
He who reduces rulers to nothing,
Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
King James Version
Chapter 40
20
He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23
That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 40
20
A poor person contributes wood for a pedestal
that will not rot.
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not fall over.
21
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning?
Have you not considered
the foundations of the earth?
22
God is enthroned above the circle of the earth;
its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like thin cloth
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23
He reduces princes to nothing
and makes judges of the earth like a wasteland.
New Living Translation
Chapter 40
20
Or if people are too poor for that,
they might at least choose wood that won’t decay
and a skilled craftsman
to carve an image that won’t fall down!
21
Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand?
Are you deaf to the words of God —
the words he gave before the world began?
Are you so ignorant?
22
God sits above the circle of the earth.
The people below seem like grasshoppers to him!
He spreads out the heavens like a curtain
and makes his tent from them.
23
He judges the great people of the world
and brings them all to nothing.
English Standard Version
Chapter 40
20
He who is too impoverished for an offering
chooses wood that will not rot;
he seeks out a skillful craftsman
to set up an idol that will not move.
21
Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23
who brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
New International Version
Chapter 40
20
A person too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
to set up an idol that will not topple.
21
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23
He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
New King James Version
Chapter 40
20
Whoever
is
too impoverished for
such
a contribution
Chooses a tree
that
will not rot;
He seeks for himself a skillful workman
To prepare a carved image
that
will not totter.
21
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
It is
He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants
are
like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
23
He brings the princes to nothing;
He makes the judges of the earth useless.
