'Little' in the Bible

And he saith, 'Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God?

For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.

And a wolf hath sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard with a kid doth lie down, And calf, and young lion, and fatling are together, And a little youth is leader over them.

And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, 'In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, With all the great multitude, And the remnant is little, small, not mighty!'

For rule is on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,

And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.

Is it not yet a very little, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned?

The little one doth become a chief, And the small one a mighty nation, I, Jehovah, in its own time do hasten it!

For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.
