Isaiah 40:15-17
English Standard Version

15 Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
    and are accounted (A)as the dust on the scales;
    behold, he takes up (B)the coastlands like fine dust.
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
    nor are (C)its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
17 (D)All the nations are as nothing before him,
    they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

Isaiah 40:15-17
New American Standard Bible

15 Behold, the (A)nations are like a drop from a bucket,
And are regarded as a speck of (B)dust on the scales;
Behold, He lifts up the [a]islands like fine dust.
16 Even Lebanon is not enough to [b]burn,
Nor its (C)animals enough for a burnt offering.
17 (D)All the nations are as nothing before Him,
They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and [c]meaningless.
