ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૪૦:૨૨
પ્રભુ તો પૃથ્વી ઉપરના આકાશમંડળ પર બિરાજનાર છે અને એમની નજરમાં તેના રહેવાસીઓ તીડ સમાન છે! તે પડદાની જેમ આકાશોને પ્રસારે છે અને રહેવા માટેના તંબુની જેમ તેઓને તાણે છે.
हिन्दीयशायाह ४०:२२
यह वह है जो पृथ्वी के घेरे के ऊपर आकाशमण्डल पर विराजमान है; और पृथ्वी के रहनेवाले टिड्डी के तुल्य है; जो आकाश को मलमल के समान फैलाता और ऐसा तान देता है जैसा रहने के लिये तम्बू ताना जाता है;

In context

20He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up a carved image for him that will not be moved.

21Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?

22It 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,

23who brings princes to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.

24They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
