  15  Behold, the nations are as a ^bdrop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

  7  O how great is the ^anothingness of the children of men; yea, even they are less than the dust of the earth.

  10  And it came to pass that it was for the space of many hours before Moses did again receive his natural strength like unto man; and he said unto himself: Now, for this cause I know that man is ^cnothing, which thing I never had supposed.

  33  And from thence, whosoever I will shall go forth among all nations, and it shall be told them what they shall do; for I have a great work laid up in store, for Israel shall be saved, and I will lead them whithersoever I will, and no power shall ^dstay my hand.

  33  How long can rolling waters remain impure? What power shall stay the heavens? As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, as to ^bhinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints.
