Isaiah 40:15 Context
13Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or, being his counseller, hath taught him? 14With whom tooke he counsell, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of iudgement? and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of vnderstanding? 15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, hee taketh vp the yles as a very litle thing. 16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burne, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offring. 17All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him lesse then nothing, and vanitie.
