Commentary on Isaiah 44:14
The absurdity deepens: the wood for the idol comes from trees God made grow - cypress, oak, ash trees planted by God and watered by rain. The very material used to create false gods comes from the true God's creation. The Hebrew emphasizes divine agency: 'the LORD...doth nourish it.'
