Isaiah 46:6-7

This is Isaiah’s fourth and last exposé of the folly of idol worship (cf. Isaiah 40:19-20; Isaiah 41:6-7; Isaiah 44:9-20). How foolish it is to spend a lot of money and effort to make something that cannot care for itself much less its worshipper. It has no power to respond in any way, much less to save.

"There are two kinds of gods in this world: the kind you carry and the One who can carry you." [Note: Dyer, in The Old . . ., p. 569.]
