The Folly of Idolatry
“They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. delectable: Heb. desirable”
Isaiah 44:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
This begins the satire on idol-making (verses 9-20). Those who fashion idols are 'tohu' (formlessness, chaos - the same word describing earth before creation in Genesis 1:2). Their 'delectable things' (precious idols) 'shall not profit.' The irony is biting: their own witnesses (the idols themselves) neither see nor know, ensuring their worshipers' shame.
