Parallel
Isaiah 40:15
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
since all the nations are counted as a drop from a bucket, and as the turning of a balance, [and] shall be counted as spittle?
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands (note: Or coastlands) like fine dust.
