Nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.

16Even Lebanon is not enough to burn,

Nor its beasts enough for a burnt offering.

16And [the forests of] Lebanon cannot supply sufficient fuel to start a fire,

Nor are its wild beasts enough for a burnt offering [worthy of the Lord].

nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.

16Lebanon doesn’t have enough trees to keep his altar fires burning.

It doesn’t have enough animals to sacrifice as burnt offerings to him.
