Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 44:9-11

Isaiah 44:9-11. They that make a graven image are vanity Hereby discover themselves to be vain, empty, and foolish men. And their delectable things shall not profit Their idols, in which they take so much pleasure. They are their own witnesses They that make them are witnesses against themselves and against their idols, because they know they are not gods, but the work of their own hands. They see not, nor know Have neither sense nor understanding, therefore they have just cause to be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-28

Israel’s God and man-made gods (44:1-28)Not only is God willing to forgive his people, but he wants to pour out the power of his Spirit upon them so that new spiritual life will spring up within them. This will enable them to evangelize the Gentiles, who will then join the descendants of Jacob in worshipping the God of Israel (44:1-5). Israel’s redeemer is the only God. He knows the end from the beginning and his people can depend on him always (6-8).In contrast to the one true and living God... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 44:9

A DENUNCIATION OF IDOLATRY"They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and the things that they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know: that they may be put to shame. Who hath fashioned a god, or molten an image that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all his fellows shall be put to shame; and the workmen, they are of men: let them be gathered together, let them stand up, they shall fear, they shall be put to shame together."In words which again... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 44:9

Isaiah 44:9. They that make a graven image— They that form the graven image are all of them vanity; and their most curious works shall not profit. Yea, their works themselves bear witness to them, that they see not and that they understand not: Isa 44:10 that every one may be ashamed, that he hath formed a god, &c. Lowth. The prophet (still making God the speaker) passes to the other part of his reproof; wherein he sets forth at large the folly and madness of idolatry. His discourse may be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 44:1-22

2. The servant of the Lord 41:1-44:22There is an emphasis on the uniqueness of the Lord compared to other gods in this section, a theme that Isaiah introduced earlier (ch. 40 especially). The prophet particularly stressed Yahweh’s ability to control history in this connection. He did this to assure Israel that God loved her and had a future for her beyond the Exile, specifically to serve Him by demonstrating to the world that He is sovereign over history. These emphases become increasingly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 44:8-20

The witness to redemption 43:8-44:20Isaiah continued to show that Yahweh was both willing and able to deliver His people, a theme begun in Isaiah 42:10. He confronted the gods, again (cf. Isaiah 41:21-29), but this time he challenged them to bring forth witnesses to their deity, namely, people who could confirm their ability to predict the future. The captive Judeans were Yahweh’s witnesses. They would, despite their spiritual blindness and deafness, give witness to His ability to predict their... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 44:9

The prophet began by stating his premise. Idol makers engage in futile (Heb. tohu) activity because the idols they make do not profit people. Those who promote idol worship do not see the folly of idolatry themselves, and they will be ashamed by the failure of their gods. read more
