Hosea 8:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. The workman made it; therefore it is not God - As God signifies the supreme eternal Good, the Creator and Upholder of all things, therefore the workman cannot make Him who made all things. This is an overwhelming argument against all idols. Nothing need be added. The workman has made them; therefore they are not God.
