Isaiah 46:7 — KJV
They bear him. See on v. 1.
Not answer. See on ch. 44:9; see Ps. 115:5. Wood or gold when fashioned in the form of an idol is still only inanimate material, unable to hear the cry of a human soul. In hours of desperate need men look for a God who can hear the cry of their hearts and who can supply their needs (see Ps. 107:9). Idols leave only an aching void in the souls of the men who worship them.
