In what way do [all trees of Levanon] not suffice to burn?

1.

Rashi #1: On His Mizbe'ach 1 .

2.

Rashi #2: It does not suffice to atone for the nations' sin. Radak: The nations who think that I cannot take Yisrael from them - no Olah that they will offer to Me will atone for them, after they see that I take them out, and they regret their words. Levanon is a forest in Eretz Yisrael.

3.

Malbim: "Secharo Ito" (10) - the nations cannot offer a bribe of Korbanos that will entice Him to change His desire - "Lo Ekach mi'Beisecha Far...; Ki Li Kol Chayso Ya'ar" (Tehilim 50:10), "ha'Yirtzeh Hashem b'Alfei Eilim" (Michah 6:7).

1.
