John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 44:10

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 . read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-28

ISAIAH INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO The chapters of Part 2 (chaps. 40-46) are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author’s Primers of the Faith. In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse though doubtless, such is not... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 44:9-20

What a fine contrast does this view of the dung-hill god of a man's own creating, form with what went before, in which the glory of Jehovah is so sublimely set forth! If there were not facts existing to prove it, would it ever be credited, that any man, much less multitudes of men, should be found weak enough in intellect to form an image of wood, and fall down before it in worship? But, Reader! remark from it, to what an awful state is man reduced by the fall. Oh! how truly blessed is it here... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:9-20

9-20 Image-making is described, to expose the folly of idolaters. Though a man had used part of a log for fuel, he fell down before an image made of the remainder, praying it to deliver him. Man greatly dishonours God, when he represents him after the image of man. Satan blinds the eyes of unbelievers, causing absurd reasonings in matters of religion. Whether men seek happiness in worldly things, or run into unbelief, superstition, or any false system, they feed on ashes. A heart deceived by... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 44:9-23

The Vanity of Idolatry over against Jehovah v. 9. They that make a graven image, those who manufacture idols, are all of them vanity, nothingness, desolation; and their delectable things, the idols for which they profess such a deep affection, shall not profit, not being able to help them in any way; and they are their own witnesses; they see not nor know, the idol-worshipers themselves testifying that their gods are both blind and ignorant, that they, the idolaters, may be ashamed, for... read more

THE COMPLETION OF THE REDEMPTION BY DELIVERING FROM SIN IS THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRITIsaiah 44:1-51 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant;And Israel, whom I have chosen:2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee,And formed thee from the womb, which will help thee;Fear not, O Jacob, my servant;And thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty,And floods upon the dry ground:I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,And my blessing upon thine... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-11

“Besides Me There Is No God” Isaiah 44:1-11 What gracious promises are given throughout Scripture, not only to God’s children, but to their seed! Here the thirsty soul, longing for love, sympathy, God, is promised an abundant supply. See John 4:13-14 ; Revelation 22:17 . But notice the extreme beauty of the further response, which shall be made by the young followers of our Lord: One shall say, I am the Lord’s , Isaiah 44:5 . What ecstasy such a declaration causes to a parent’s heart! Young... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 44:1-28

The beginning of this chapter (verses Isa 44:1-5 ) contains the gracious promise of the outpouring of the Spirit of God, and a description of the blessing of refreshment and renewal which will come to Israel, and the consequent influence on other people. In this message the power of Jehovah is compared with that of idols. Jehovah begins by declaring Himself to be the first and the last, the only God, knowing, and declaring, and appointing. Because these things are so, appeal is made to the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:10-20

Isaiah Reveals The Folly of Idolatry (Isaiah 44:10-20 ). Note the contrast of this passage with what precedes it. Isaiah brings out that while it is Yahweh Who formed Israel, the idol is merely fashioned by its owner (Isaiah 44:2 with Isaiah 44:9-13). While Yahweh can pour forth that which produces growth, the idol is a part of what is grown. While Yahweh is the first and the last, the idol is but a spare bit of wood, and has had to be grown, and then shaped, and is even then something that... read more
