“And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.”
Isaiah 40:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 40:16

This hyperbolic statement emphasizes God's transcendent greatness—no earthly offering can adequately honor Him. This anticipates the New Testament truth that only Christ's perfect sacrifice suffices.
