They that make a graven image are vanity Hereby discover themselves to be vain, empty, and foolish men. And their delectable things shall not profit Their idols, in which they take so much pleasure. They are their own witnesses They that make them are witnesses against themselves and against their idols, because they know they are not gods, but the work of their own hands. They see not, nor know Have neither sense nor understanding, therefore they have just cause to be ashamed of their folly in worshipping such senseless things. Who hath formed a god, &c. What man in his wits would do it? Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed The workmen who, in this work, are partners with him, by whose cost and command the work is done; or those who any way assist in this work, and join with him in worshipping the image which he makes. They are of men They are of mankind, and therefore cannot possibly make a god. They shall be ashamed together Though all combine together, they shall be filled with fear and confusion when God shall plead his cause against them.
