Bible verse
Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
Isaiah 40:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 40.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?
14 Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?
15 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 like fine dust.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
17 All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.
18 To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?
19 To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
20 To one bereft of an offering who chooses wood that will not rot, who seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple?
