Isaiah 40:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That he hath no oblation; that he can hardly procure money sufficient to buy the meanest sacrifice for his God. He seeketh unto him a cunning workman; he is so mad upon his idols, that he will one way or other find money to procure the choicest materials, and the help of the best artist, to make his idol. That shall not be moved; which after all this cost and art cannot stir one step out of its place to give you any help.

Isaiah 40:20

20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
