29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
29 See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.
29 Behold, they are all a delusion; their works are nothing; their metal images are empty wind.
29 Nothing here. It's all smoke and hot air - sham gods, hollow gods, no-gods.
29 Indeed they are all worthless; Their works are nothing; Their molded images are wind and confusion.
29 See, they are all foolish, worthless things. All your idols are as empty as the wind.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 41:29
Commentary on Isaiah 41:21-29
(Read Isaiah 41:21-29)
There needs no more to show the folly of sin, than to bring to notice the reasons given in defence of it. There is nothing in idols worthy of regard. They are less than nothing, and worse than nothing. Let the advocates of other doctrines than that of salvation through Christ, bring their arguments. Can they tell of a cure for human depravity? Jehovah has power which cannot be withstood; this he will make appear. But the certain knowledge of the future must be only with Jehovah, who fulfils his own plans. All prophecies, except those of the Bible, have been uncertain. In the work of redemption the Lord showed himself much more than in the release of the Jews from Babylon. The good tidings the Lord will send in the gospel, is a mystery hid from ages and generations. A Deliverer is raised up for us, of nobler name and greater power than the deliverer of the captive Jews. May we be numbered among his obedient servants and faithful friends.
