17 Before him all the nations are as nothing;

they are regarded by him as worthless

and less than nothing.

17 All the nations are as nothing before him,

they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

17 All nations before him are as nothing;

And they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

17 The nations of the world are worth nothing to him.

In his eyes they count for less than nothing—

mere emptiness and froth.

17 All nations before Him are as nothing,

And they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.

17 Compared to the Lord all the nations are worth nothing;

to him they are less than nothing.

17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are esteemed by him less than a cipher, and vanity.

17 All the nations amount to nothing in his presence. 

He considers them less than nothing and worthless. 

17 All the nations are as nothing before Him;

they are considered by Him

as nothingness and emptiness.

17 All the nations are as nothing before him;

they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

17 All the nations are like nothing before him;

they are counted by him as nothing and emptiness.

17 To him, all of the nations don’t amount to anything.

He considers them to be worthless.

In fact, they are less than nothing in his sight.
