Every man is brutish in his knowledge This is spoken of the makers of idols, whose skilfulness as workmen made them foolish enough to attempt to make gods, and who afterward acted still more foolishly in worshipping them, when they knew they were but the work of their own hands. The founder is confounded by the graven image Or, ashamed, as הבישׁ signifies. For it can afford no help, nor do any good, to those who worship it; and therefore is a disgrace to the workman who pretends to make it a god, that could hear the prayers offered to it, and send help to its worshippers. His molten image is falsehood That is, those are no less deceived who expect help from a molten image, than they who expect it from a false, lying man. They are the work of errors The making of them is owing to men's erroneous notions of the nature of God. In the time of their visitation they shall perish The time will come when God will execute vengeance upon idolaters, and utterly destroy their idols.
