In context
19Has not the artificer made an image, or the goldsmith having melted gold, gilded it over, and made it a similitude?
20For the artificer chooses out a wood that will not rot, and will wisely inquire how he shall set up his image, and that so that it should not be moved.
— Isaiah 40:21 —
22It is he that comprehends the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants in it are as grasshoppers; he that set up the heaven as a chamber, and stretched it out as a tent to dwell in:
23he that appoints princes to rule as nothing, and has made the earth as nothing.
