INTRODUCTION TO Isaiah 44 In this chapter the Lord comforts his people with the promise of the effusion of his Spirit, and the blessings of his grace upon them; the consequence of which would be fruitfulness in them, and the conversion of others, who should profess themselves the Lord's people, Isaiah 44:1, he proves his deity in opposition to all false gods from his eternity, omniscience, and...
John Gill
Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed,.... Either such who join with them in the worship of the molten graven image, or god formed, when they find it is profitable for nothing; so the Targum, "behold all their worshippers shall be confounded;'' or their fellow workmen, who took their several parts in making the image, and so must be conscious of the vanity and unprofitableness of it, and...
Matthew Henry
God, by the prophet, goes on in this chapter, as before, I.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint. This maker of a god is faint! How utterly ridiculous is the idea that one who...
