Isaiah 40:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are considered as a speck of dust on the scales;
he lifts up the islands like fine dust.
16 Lebanon’s cedars are not enough for fuel,
or its animals enough for a burnt offering.(A)
17 All the nations are as nothing before him;
they are considered by him
as empty nothingness.(B)
