Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 41:24

"Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you." — Isaiah 41:24 (ASV)

Behold, ye are of nothing. —This is the summing up of the prophet, speaking as in the Judge’s name. The idol was nothing in the world (1 Corinthians 8:4). The demonic view of the gods of the pagans does not appear, as in St. Paul’s argument (1 Corinthians 10:20), side by side with that of their nothingness.
