This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].
Ver. 14. He heweth him down cedars.] Choice wood, yet but wood. Qualis igitur inde Deus consurgat?
And the rain doth nourish it.] Not the idol; for it can do nothing toward the production of that matter whereof it is made. Some have observed that the four sorts of trees here mentioned are all of them fruitless, and growing in woods.
