Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 44:9

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

9. ( Isaiah 40:18 ; Isaiah 40:20 ; Isaiah 41:29 ). delectable things —the idols in which they take such pride and delight. not profit — ( Isaiah 41:29- : ). they are their own witnesses —contrasted with, " Ye are My witnesses" ( Isaiah 44:8 ). "They," that is, both the makers and the idols, are witnesses against themselves, for the idols palpably see and know nothing ( Psalms 115:4-8 ). that they may be ashamed —the consequence deducible from the whole previous argument, not merely from the words immediately preceding, as in Isaiah 28:13 ; Isaiah 36:12 . I say all this to show that they are doomed to perish with shame, which is their only fitting end. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
