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.
