Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 40:15

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.

All the Nations of the World;

Compared with all the Water in the Bucket wherein are innumerable drops▪ such are they if compared with God.

By him, and in comparison of him.

Which accidently cleaves to the Ballance, but make no alteration in the weight.

Those numerous and vast Countries to which they went from Iudaea by Sea, which are commonly called Isles, as hath been oft observed.
