This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
Ver. 8. Their land also is full of idols.] As Babylon, "a land of idols"; {Jer_50:38} as Athens, "wholly given to idolatry"; {Act_17:16} as China is said to have in it at this day a hundred thousand gods. And what shall we think of Popish idols? The word here rendered idols signifieth nihilitates, nothingness; for an idol is nothing in the world. {1Co_8:4}
They worship the work of their own hands.] Scelestum el immane facinus, dirum scelus et execrandum; effraenata et praeceps amentia. See Isa_44:15; Isa_44:18.
