Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 40:15
הֵ֤ן גּוֹיִם֙ כְּמַ֣ר מִדְּלִ֔י וּכְשַׁ֥חַק מֹאזְנַ֖יִם נֶחְשָׁ֑בוּ הֵ֥ן אִיִּ֖ים כַּדַּ֥ק יִטּֽוֹל׃
Die Völker sind wie ein Tropfen am Eimer, und dem Staub in der Wagschale gleich geachtet. Die Insel trägt er davon wie ein Stäubchen.
Rashi on Isaiah
Behold the nations are like a drop from a bucket And are not worthy to Him to appoint some of them as prophets to reveal His secret.
