Isaiah 40:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
    and are accounted as dust on the scales;
    see, he takes up the isles like fine dust.
¹⁶ Lebanon would not provide fuel enough,
    nor are its animals enough for a burnt offering.
¹⁷ All the nations are as nothing before him;
    they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
