Isaiah 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.
