Commentary on Isaiah 40:20

Theological / Devotional

A tree. The poor man, who cannot afford to make his idol of precious metal, makes it of wood. But having made this idol, what does he have more than wood? How long will such a god endure? — till the wood rots away. Isaiah sets before his people the folly of worshiping gods made with human hands.
