Verse 8
8. Land… is full of idols It is scarcely to be supposed that the idolatry mentioned here was public. The “idols” were a private possession of individuals and of families, like the teraphim in Jacob’s family. Genesis 31:34. The word rendered “idols” properly signifies unrealities, nonentities, of no avail as deities or any thing else. Such is the prophet’s view of them. Psalms 46:5.
Their own fingers have made This expresses still deeper contempt of them. So, also, in Isa 41-67.
