You who pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver on the scales, hiring a goldsmith to make a god, and they fall down and worship. They carry him on their shoulders, carrying and placing him in his place, and he will stand, and he will not be moved from his place. But when they cry out to him, he will not hear: he will not save them from distress. LXX: To whom do you liken me? See, consider those who go astray and compare gold from a bag, and silver in a scale, and hire a goldsmith. They make it into an idol, and they bow down and worship it. They lift it to their shoulders and carry it. If they place it in its rightful place, it stays and will not move. It cannot hear those who cry out to it, and it will not save them from their troubles. To the extent that they require prophetic correction, by which God speaks to them: 'To whom have you made me similar and equal?' And the rest: what gold and silver they have brought, and what idols they have made by hiring a sculptor, and what works of their hands they have worshiped, which are carried on their shoulders, and which, when nailed and fixed, are unable to move, nor are they able to benefit those who worship them. We pass over the obvious things to uncover the closed mercy of Christ.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"133bce98fd60e55d721ad2c001591e26c9ae87bfa9672f4e8266d21786481706","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7518,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"ada3a014d9fdc281bc9db0faac1bd9f1730433526eb485f24d293d2f3bf11e1e","translator":null,"work":null}
