Isaías 44:9

9 Los que dan forma a un ídolo todos ellos son nada, y sus cosas más preciadas de nada sirven; aun sus propios testigos no ven ni entienden, por eso serán avergonzados.

Isaías 44:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 44:9

They that make a graven image are all of them vanity
They show themselves to be vain men, by making such vain things as graven images are; both images, makers, and worshippers of them are all vain, yea vanity itself: and their delectable things shall not profit;
their idols made of gold and silver, or covered with them, and adorned with precious stones, and so delightful and desirable, are of no manner of profit and advantage, unless the matter they are made of, and the ornaments about them, were converted to other uses; yet not as gods, and worshipped as such, who can be of no service to their worshippers to help them in distress, or save them from ruin: and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know that they may
be ashamed;
they that made them must be witnesses against themselves, and the idols they have made; they must be convicted in their own consciences that they cannot be gods; they must be sensible that they have no sight nor knowledge of persons and things; that they cannot see, nor know their worshippers, nor their wants, and cannot give them relief; and this they ought to acknowledge to their own shame that made them, and that their worshippers of them might be ashamed also.

Isaías 44:9 In-Context

7 "¿Y quién como yo? Que lo proclame y lo declare. Sí, que en orden lo relate ante mí, desde que establecí la antigua nación. Que les anuncien las cosas venideras y lo que va a acontecer.

8 "No tembléis ni temáis; ¿no os lo he hecho oír y lo he anunciado desde hace tiempo? Vosotros sois mis testigos. ¿Hay otro dios fuera de mí, o hay otra Roca? No conozco ninguna."

9 Los que dan forma a un ídolo todos ellos son nada, y sus cosas más preciadas de nada sirven; aun sus propios testigos no ven ni entienden, por eso serán avergonzados.

10 ¿Quién ha dado forma a un dios o fundido un ídolo para no tener ganancia?

11 He aquí, todos sus compañeros serán avergonzados, pues los artífices son sólo hombres. Que se reúnan todos, que se levanten, que tiemblen, que sean a una avergonzados.
