“They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.”
Isaiah 42:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 42:17
Those trusting in idols will be 'turned back' and 'greatly ashamed' (Hebrew 'bosh'—deep humiliation). The irony: saying to molten images 'Ye are our gods' exposes absurdity—addressing human creations as creators. Shame is the inevitable result when trust is misplaced in impotent objects.
