No that verse says circle just like you said originally. You have purposely changed the words in the verse. The verse does not use the word globe.
Looks like you had to go through a whole pile of different bible versions on the Internet to find that.
And to be frank, if Isaiah had intended to speak of the earth as a globe, he would probably have used the word he used in 22:18 (dur), meaning “ball”. Instead he used the hebrew word hug.
There are also many other verses in the bible that speak to the 4 corners of the earth etc.
Rightly or wrongly, it is talking about a flat earth.
Having said that, it is all okay because the bible is all about faith. If there is something not quite right in it, well that is okay as you have your faith and that is fantastic.

first you accuse me of purposely changing the word, then you say i must have went through a pile of versions to find it.
Then you say i have faith.
It can not be all of the above, if i purposely changed the word why would i have to go through a pile of translations to find the word?
Second, if i purposely changed the word i would be a liar, how much faith does a liar have?
The D.R. version is where the scripture comes from and is translated into English from the Latin Vulgate which is one of the earliest Bibles we have and which i started going to several months ago.
I don,t know if Isaiah had any knowledge of how the earth looked.
But even the language we use today would confuse any one who did not know.
What time will the sun come up? or what time will the sun go down?
As if the sun was moving around the earth.
While it is true that the majority believed we lived on a flat earth the majority was wrong and usually are.
From what i have heard it was the seafarers who first come up with the idea that the earth was not flat and not scientist,but you can bet God knew.
So my point is that using Biblical scripture to prove evolution or to prove there is no God is just as ridicules as using the science book to prove science is false which in some cases it most likely is.
The Bible comes out of another culture and linguistic setting. Metaphorical imagery can mislead the reader into thinking the Bible is saying something, when it means something different. In Hebrew, as in English, one can speak of the four “corners” of the earth (Isa. 41:9; cf. Ezek. 7:2). Is the Bible saying that the world is square? Some critics say so. Yet the earth is also described as a circle or globe (Isa. 40:22). Is it possible that corners is metaphorical language that may mean the geography covered by the four “quarters” of the compass, just as it means when we say it?
Faith is not a leap in the dark as skeptics like to suggest. Rather, faith is an action based on the confidence one has in the object of their belief.
