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.

כמר מדלי As a drop of a bucket, as a drop that falls from the bucket. מר drop is hap. leg.

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.

and like the dust of a balance for the copper corrodes and wears off.

like fine fine dust.

that blows away [lit. that will be taken.] Like dust that is picked up and goes up through the wind, like fine dust that is carried away.
