21 Don't you know?Haven't you heard?Isn't it clear that Godcreated the world?
22 God is the one who rulesthe whole earth,and we who live hereare merely insects.He spread out the heavenslike a curtain or an open tent.

24 They are like flowersfreshly sprung upand starting to grow.But when God blows on them,they wilt and are carried offlike straw in a storm.
