Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 2:20

Theological / Devotional

Idols of silver. Men who have fled into the caves from the presence of God cast away their idols, which they now recognize cannot help them. These are not necessarily literal idols, but may be treasures of gold and silver they have heaped together for themselves. These now prove utterly useless and unable to provide relief, and are cast away as worthless.

Moles. Creatures that live underground, or in caves, ruins, and disused buildings. It is to such places as these that the people have fled for refuge (vs. 10, 19, 21).
