Isaiah 40:15-17
American Standard Version
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: behold, [a]he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. 17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as [b]less than nothing, and [c]vanity.

New International Version
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;(A)
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.(B)
16 Lebanon(C) is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals(D) enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations(E) are as nothing;(F)
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.(G)
