הֵ֤ן גּוֹיִם֙ כְּמַ֣ר מִדְּלִ֔י וּכְשַׁ֥חַק מֹאזְנַ֖יִם נֶחְשָׁ֑בוּ הֵ֥ן אִיִּ֖ים כַּדַּ֥ק יִטּֽוֹל׃
Eis que as nações são consideradas por ele como a gota dum balde, e como o pó miúdo das balanças; eis que ele levanta as ilhas como a uma coisa pequeníssima.

כמר מדלי As a drop of a bucket, as a drop that falls from the bucket. מר drop is hap. leg.
Rashi on Isaiah
like a drop from a bucket Heb. כְּמַר, like a bitter drop that drips from the bottom of the bucket, bitter from the putrid water that is embedded in the bucket and the decay of the wood, limonede in O.F.
