On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He takes them up, and throws them away from him, as a very little thing, not worth speaking of. They are all in his eye as nothing, as if they had no being at all; for they add nothing to his perfection and all-sufficiency. They are counted by him, and are to be counted by us in comparison of him, less than nothing, and vanity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
