“Everyone who makes a carved image is vain.The things that they delight in will not profit.Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.”
Isaiah 44:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7Who is like me?Who will call,and will declare it,and set it in order for me,since I established the ancient people?Let them declare the things that are coming,and that will happen. 8Don’t fear,neither be afraid.Haven’t I declared it to you long ago,and shown it?You are my witnesses.Is there a God besides me?Indeed, there is not.I don’t know any other Rock.” 9Everyone who makes a carved image is vain.The things that they delight in will not profit.Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed. 10Who has fashioned a god,or molds an image that is profitable for nothing? 11Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed;and the workmen are mere men.Let them all be gathered together.Let them stand up.They will fear.They will be put to shame together.
