'Less' in the Bible

All the nations are as nothing before Him,They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.

“Yet you have not called on Me [in prayer and worship], O Jacob;But you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.

“In fact, they are like stubble;Fire burns them.They cannot save themselves from the power of the flame [much less save the nation],There is no blazing coal for warmingNor fire before which to sit!
