God's Sarcastic Question

Commentators describe this verse as God's "holy sarcasm." He taunts the people by asking where their idols are—the very ones they honored with the best parts of their sacrifices. The rhetorical challenge, "Let them rise up and help you," is designed to sting the conscience and expose the absolute powerlessness of the false gods they chose over Him.
