Isaiah 40:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Face it; the nations are nothing but a drop in the bucket,
    only a smidgen on the scales by the reckoning of God.
He can pick up entire islands as if they are grains of dirt.
¹⁶ Even if we had all the resources of Lebanon—
    all of its trees to burn for fuel, all of its animals for burnt offerings—
How could we think that we’ve got enough to give to God?
¹⁷ All the countries of the world don’t add up to anything. In the eyes of God
    they are less than nothing;
    they are empty wastelands.
