Isaiah 40:17 Context
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. 18¶ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likenesse will ye compare vnto him? 19The workeman melteth a grauen image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it ouer with golde, and casteth siluer chaines.
