That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

The verse 23 is found in chapter 40 of Isaiah. Isaiah presents God as incomparable before nations, idols, and rulers. No creature can measure the heavens or advise the Creator. The conclusion addresses those who feel that God does not see their situation: waiting for Yahweh does not mean passivity, but receiving renewed strength because his power never runs out.

Der die Fürsten zunichte macht und die Richter auf Erden eitel macht,
Él torna en nada los poderosos, y a los que gobiernan la tierra hace como cosa vana.
C'est lui qui réduit les princes au néant, Et qui fait des juges de la terre une vanité;
che riduce i principi a niente, e fa che i rettori della terra son come una cosa vana;
O que reduz a nada os príncipes, e torna em coisa vã os juízes da terra.
他使君王歸於虛無, 使地上的審判官成為虛空。
