Isaiah 40:15-17

Contemporary English Version

^15 (A) To the Lord, all nations
are merely a drop in a bucket
    or dust on balance scales;
all of the islands
    are but a handful of sand.
¹⁶ The cattle on the mountains
    of Lebanon
would not be enough to offer
    as a sacrifice to God,
and the trees would not
    be enough for the fire.
¹⁷ God thinks of the nations
    as far less than nothing.
