This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Ver. 15. Behold, the nations are as the drop of a bucket.] Quota igitur es tu istius guttae particula? What a small parcel art thou then of that small drop? saith an ancient.
As the small dust of the balance.] That weigheth nothing; yea, all men together laid in the balance with vanity itself will ascend or tilt up. {a} {Psa_62:9}
He taketh up the isles as a very little thing.] Or, He taketh up and throweth away the isles as powder.
{a} Mira igitur superbiae nostrae stultitia. - Oecolamp.
