A stone; idol; a metonymy of the matter, because idols are made of these materials, Daniel 5:4. Brought me forth; or, begotten me; so is the word used, Genesis 4:18. This notes the sottish stupidity of this people, to take a lifeless stock or stone to be their maker, and to give the honour of God unto them, Isaiah 44:17. They that make them are like unto them, as senseless as they, Psalms 115:8. They have turned their back unto me, and not their face; they turn their faces wholly towards their idols: it notes the openness of their apostacy, Jeremiah 7:24. Arise, and save us; the usual language of God's children in distress, Psalms 3:7, and often elsewhere; then they found the vanity of their idols, and their own folly in relying on them, that cannot help or save, and rejecting me, Jeremiah 2:31, then they will come to me, Judges 10:10 Hosea 5:15; the same thing with finding her in her month, Jeremiah 2:24; herein abusing God's gentleness, making him their necessity, not their choice.
