“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: It is: or, Him that”
Isaiah 40:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 40:22
God's transcendent perspective is vividly portrayed: He sits above the earth's circle ('chug'), viewing inhabitants as grasshoppers. The heavens are stretched like a curtain ('doq'—thin fabric) or tent ('ohel'), emphasizing creation's ease for God. This cosmic imagery establishes God's absolute sovereignty and humans' relative insignificance.
