Isaiah 44:10
_ _ Who ... ? — Sarcastic question: “How debased the man must be who forms a god!” It is a contradiction in terms. A made god, worshipped by its maker (1 Corinthians 8:4)! |
Isaiah 44:10
Who hath formed a (o) god, or cast a graven image [that] is (p) profitable for nothing?
(o) Meaning that whatever is made by the hand of man, if it is valued as a god, is most detestable.
(p) By which appears their blasphemy, who call images the books of the laity, seeing that they are not only here called unprofitable, but in (Isaiah 41:24) abominable. Jeremiah calls them the work of errors, (Jeremiah 10:15), Habakkuk, a lying teacher (Habakkuk 2:18). |
