Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 44:15

_ _ The same tree that furnishes the material for the god is in part used as fuel for a fire to cook his meals and warm himself!

_ _ thereto — rather, “he falleth down before them,” that is, such images [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 44:9-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 44:15

Fallen down — Having related the practices of idolaters, he now discovers the folly of them, that he makes his fire and his god of the same materials, distinguished only by the art of man.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 44:15

Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take of it, and (u) warm himself; indeed, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down to it.

(u) He sets forth the obstinacy and malice of the idolaters who though they see by daily experience that their idols are no better than the rest of the matter of which they are made, yet they refuse the one part, and make a god of the other, as the papists make their cake god, and the rest of their idols.
