On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It teaches lies, teaches lies concerning God. It is an instruction of vanities; it is wood. " It is probable that the idols of gold and silver had wood underneath for the substratum, and then silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, imported from beyond sea, and gold from Uphaz, or Phaz, which is sometimes rendered the fine or pure gold, Ps. xxi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

): They are altogether brutish and foolish. Those that make them are like unto them, senseless and stupid, and there is no spirit in them--no use of reason, else they would never stoop to them,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Man divests himself of his true humanity, and sinks to the level of the brute, when he severs his connection with God (Ps 115:8; Jon 2:8). stock is a doctrine of vanities--The stock (put for the worship of all idols whatever, made out of a stock) speaks for itself that the whole theory of idolatry is vanity (Isa 44:9-11).
