Commentary on Isaiah 40:17
The Hebrew 'ayin' (nothing) and 'tohu' (formless void, same word as Genesis 1:2) describe how nations appear from God's perspective. They are 'ephes' (less than nothing)—a striking phrase indicating negative value. This doesn't demean humanity but shows that apart from God, all human achievement is meaningless.
