Isaiah 31:7

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

For in that day,.... When deliverance shall be wrought; when men shall be convinced of the vanity and insufficiency of their idols to help them, and of their sin in worshipping them; when they shall be brought to repentance for it, and turn to the Lord as an evidence of it:every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold; with contempt and abhorrence of them, as the word signifies; every man "his" own idol, and even those that were of the greatest value, which were made of gold and silver:which your own hands have made unto you [for] a sin; their idols were the work of their own hands, and were made by them in order to commit sin with, the sin of idolatry; or sin may be put for the punishment of sin, which is the issue and consequence of such practices: or it may be rendered, "which your hands of sin", or "sinful hands, have made" ; it was a sin to make such idols, especially with a view to worship them; it was a sin to worship them; and the fruit of it was deserved punishment.
