Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 2:8-9

"Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not." — Isaiah 2:8-9 (ASV)

They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore forgive them not.

Mark the indignant spirit of the prophet, as if he had been an Elijah, or had the mind of a John Knox of later days. It seemed as if he could not ask God to forgive such a stupendous folly as setting up visible objects of worship and turning away from the true invisible God. O idolatry, what an accursed sin you are, and how rampant you are in this land today!
