drop, a small droplet of liquid (specifically hanging from a bucket)
This noun means a drop, a tiny amount of liquid. It occurs in Isaiah 40:15 in a majestic declaration of God's sovereignty: 'Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket'. The image minimizes the nations' significance before God—all earthly powers combined amount to no more than a drop of water clinging to a bucket's rim. The term emphasizes smallness and insignificance. The context celebrates God's incomparable greatness against which even mighty nations are negligible.

1. sense 1 — A drop of liquid, specifically a droplet hanging from or falling from a bucket. Isaiah's cosmic perspective reduces all nations to this tiny amount—before God's infinite majesty, even powerful empires are like a single drop. The metaphor stacks images of insignificance: drop from a bucket, dust on scales, distant coastlands. The Hebrew captures the clinging droplet, almost nothing at all. 1×
