Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Every man - every idol-maker.
In his knowledge - "is rendered brutish by his skill," namely, in idol-making (Jeremiah 10:8-9). Thus the parallel, "confounded by (literally, from, min (H4480)) the graven image," corresponds (so Jeremiah 51:17). Others, not so well, translate, "without knowledge," namely, of God (see Isaiah 42:17; Isaiah 45:16; Hosea 4:6). This translation is possible in the Hebrew, but does not agree with the parallelism.
