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.

Isaiah 40:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Look! The nations are like a drop from a bucket,
and they are counted like dust of the balances!
Look! He weighs the islands like a thin covering.
16 And Lebanon is not enough to light a fire,
and its animals[a] not enough for a burnt offering.
17 All the nations are like nothing before him;
they are counted by him as[b] nothing and emptiness.
