Isaiah 40:19 — KJV
The workman. Idols must be made by the hands of men, but the men who make the idols are themselves the handiwork of God. In the days of Isaiah, men employed their greatest ingenuity and their most precious metals in the manufacture of idols, but even then these were only the products of men’s hands. What virtue could there be in setting up as objects of worship these things that are themselves made by man? Isaiah summons men to worship the true God because He created them. What folly for men to worship, instead, the things they themselves have made! As well might the Creator worship His creatures!
