| Geneva Study Bible The {g} idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. (g) By showing the punishment God appoints for the heathen idolaters, he warns his people to beware of the same offences, seeing that idols have neither power nor life, and that their deliverance came not by idols, but by the mighty power of God, see Ps 115:4-14. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 15-18. (Compare Ps 115:4-8). Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 135:15-21 These verses arm believers against idolatry and all false worship, by showing what sort of gods the heathen worshipped. And the more deplorable the condition of the Gentile nations that worship idols, the more are we to be thankful that we know better. Let us pity, and pray for, and seek to benefit benighted heathens and deluded sinners. Let us endeavour to glorify his name, and recommend his truth, not only with our lips, but by holy lives, copying the example of Christ's goodness and truth. |
