Isaiah 40:15

Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,.... Not only the Chaldeans and Babylonians, and other nations most known, and most troublesome to the Jews, but all the nations of the world; these, in comparison of God, of his infinite and immense Being, are but as a drop of water that hangs upon the bucket, or falls from it, when water is drawn by it, or is left in it, when poured out of it; which is nothing in comparison of the well out of which the water is drawn, or even of the water in the bucket drawn out of it:

and are accounted as the small dust of the balance; that is, they are accounted nothing of with God, comparatively speaking, any more than the small dust which hangs upon the balance, and gives it no weight, nor turn one way or another, and so is of no consideration. The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "as the turn of the scale"; and so the Targum; but the other version more strongly expresses the sense:

behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing; by which are meant not merely islands, properly so called, which are encompassed by the sea, but all such countries which the Jews used to go to by sea, for all such they called isles; these the Lord can take up, or cast away (u), as some render the word; toss them about, overturn and destroy, as a man may take up the most minute thing and cast it from him. The Targum renders it,

"as chaff which flies away;''

or, as others translate it,

"as the ashes of a coal which fly away.''

The word may signify any light thing, as chaff, straw, stubble, feathers, down of thistles, which are easily carried away with the least force; and so Vitringa renders the words, "behold, the isles are as some little thing which flies away".

Job 8:8-10  For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: :9  (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) :10  Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 

Sir 8:8-9  Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease. :9  Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth. 

Psalms 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

Deuteronomy 32:25

The sword without,.... Either without the city, the sword of the Roman army besieging it, which destroyed all that came out or attempted to go in; or in the streets of the city, the sword of the seditious, which destroyed multitudes among themselves:

and terror within; within the city, on account of the sword of the Romans, and the close siege they made of it; and on account of the famine and pestilence which raged in it, and the cruelty of the seditious persons among themselves; all these filled the people with horror and terror in their houses; and even in their bedchambers, as the word signifies, they were not free from terror; yea, from the temple, and inward parts, and chambers of that, which may be referred to, terror came, that being in the hands of the seditious; they sallied out from thence, and ravaged the city, and filled all places with the dread of them; and many, no doubt, through fear died, as well as by the sword and other judgments; which it is threatened

shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also,

with the man of gray hairs; none of any age or sex were spared, even those unarmed; not the young man, for his strength and promising usefulness; nor the virgin for her beauty and comeliness; nor the suckling for its innocence and tenderness; nor the aged man through any reverence of his gray hairs, or on account of the infirmities of old age, but all would be destroyed; and never was such a carnage made at the siege of anyone city in the world before or since; no less than 1,100,000 persons perished in it, as Josephus relates

Mat 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread. 

Pro 30:7-9  Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: :8  Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: :9  Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. 

Hos 4:6-7  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. :7  As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Hosea 8:8

Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

 

Ezekiel 4:13

And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

 

Psalms 106:35-36,41-42,47

[35]But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

[36]And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

[41]And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

[42]Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

[47]Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Matthew 6:32

(KJVA)  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

 

(BBE)  Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

 

(BSB)  For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

 

(CEV)  Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these.

 

(GNB)  (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.

 

(ISV)  because it is the gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them!

 

(JMNT)  "You see, the ethnic multitudes (the nations; the pagans; the non-Jews) are habitually in eager pursuit of these things spending all of their energy in seeking them! After all, your heavenly Father (or: your Father Who inhabits, and can be compared to, the atmosphere) has seen and knows that you folks repeatedly have need for all of these things.
