Isaiah 40:15-17

15Behold, the 1nations are like a drop from a bucket, And are regarded as a speck of 2dust on the scales; Behold, He lifts up the 3islands like fine dust.16Even Lebanon is not enough to 4burn, Nor its 5animals enough for a burnt offering.176All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and 7meaningless.
