Isaiah 41:24

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

A pause may be supposed between Isaiah 41:23 and Isaiah 41:24, during which the idol-gods are given the opportunity of "bringing, forth their strong reasons," and, in one way or other, proving their Divinity.

But they are stricken dumb; they say nothing. Accordingly, "judgment goes against them by default" (Cheyne), and Jehovah breaks out upon them with words of contempt and contumely, Behold, ye are of nothing, etc.

"Ye are utterly vain and futile."
