Isaiah 44:9
Isaiah 44:9 in Multiple Translations
All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or comprehend, so they are put to shame.
¶ They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and the things that they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know: that they may be put to shame.
Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.
All those who make idols are stupid; these things they love so much don't bring them any benefit. Those people who believe in idols can't see this, and they don't know anything, making them look foolish.
All they that make an image, are vanitie, and their delectable things shall nothing profite: and they are their owne witnesses, that they see not nor know: therefore they shalbe confounded.
Framers of a graven image [are] all of them emptiness, And their desirable things do not profit, And their own witnesses they [are], They see not, nor know, that they may be ashamed.
Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed.
All those who make idols are foolish, and the idols that they ◄think highly of/greatly respect► are worthless. And the people who worship those idols— it is as though they are blind, and they will be ashamed for having worshiped those idols.

7Who then is like Me? Let him say so! Let him declare his case before Me, since I established an ancient people. Let him foretell the things to come, and what is to take place.
8Do not tremble or fear. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are My witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one.”

Isaiah 44:9 Summary
[Isaiah 44:9 teaches us that making and trusting in idols is pointless and leads to shame, as God is the only one worthy of our worship and trust, as seen in Exodus 20:3-5, where it is written that we should have no other gods before Him. When we put our trust in things that are not God, we are essentially saying that God is not enough, and that is a lie. By recognizing the worthlessness of idols and the foolishness of trusting in them, we can turn our hearts to the one true God and find true fulfillment and purpose in Him, as promised in Jeremiah 29:13, where it is written that we will find Him when we seek Him with all our hearts.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of idols being worthless in Isaiah 44:9?
The worthlessness of idols in Isaiah 44:9 highlights the futility of trusting in man-made objects for spiritual fulfillment, as seen in Isaiah 40:18-20, where it is written that no man-made idol can compare to the glory of God.
Why do the witnesses of idol makers fail to see or comprehend in Isaiah 44:9?
The witnesses of idol makers fail to see or comprehend because they are spiritually blind, as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:4, where Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers to the truth of God, leading them to trust in idols rather than the one true God.
What is the result of trusting in idols according to Isaiah 44:9?
The result of trusting in idols is shame, as stated in Isaiah 44:9, where it is written that the witnesses of idol makers are put to shame, and also in Jeremiah 10:14, where it is written that those who make idols will be put to shame.
How does Isaiah 44:9 relate to the concept of false gods?
Isaiah 44:9 relates to the concept of false gods by emphasizing that all makers of idols are nothing and their idols are worthless, as also seen in Deuteronomy 32:21, where it is written that God will provoke the Israelites to jealousy with a foolish nation, highlighting the foolishness of trusting in false gods.
Reflection Questions
- What are some modern-day idols that people trust in, and how can we recognize them in our own lives?
- In what ways can we, like the witnesses of idol makers, fail to see or comprehend the truth of God, and how can we seek spiritual discernment?
- How can we, as believers, proclaim the truth of the one true God to those who are trusting in idols, and what role can we play in bringing them to a knowledge of the truth?
- What are some ways that we can practically apply the warning against idolatry in Isaiah 44:9 to our daily lives, and what are some potential consequences of ignoring this warning?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 44:9
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity,.... They show themselves to be vain men, by making such vain things as graven images are; both images, makers, and worshippers of them are all
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 44:9
They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
Are all of them vanity; hereby discover themselves to be vain, empty, or foolish men. Or thus, They that make graven images, all of them make (which word may fitly be repeated out of the foregoing clause, as is very usual in Scripture) a vanity, or a thing of nought. Which translation seems better to agree, 1. With the following clause, which is added to explain this, in which, not the idol-makers, but the idols themselves, are said to be vain or unprofitable. 2. With the use of the Hebrew word in Scripture, which is never applied to persons, but constantly to things, and sometimes to idols, as . Their delectable things; their idols, in the sight and worship of which they take so much pleasure. They are their own witnesses; they that make them are witnesses against themselves, and against their idols, because they very well know that they are not gods, but the work of their own hands, in which there is nothing but mean matter and man’ s art. They see not, nor know; or, that they (to wit, their idols) do not see nor know, have neither sense nor understanding. That they may be ashamed; therefore they have just cause to be ashamed of their folly and stupidity, in worshipping such senseless things.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.Ver. 9. And their delectable things.] Their idols and puppets, which they so dearly affect and take so great delight in. He speaketh thus, saith Diodate, because that idolatry is a kind of spiritual concupiscence, and unchaste or disordered love, like as fornication or adultery. And they are their own witnesses, &c.] Or, Even themselves are their own witnesses to their shame, that they neither see nor know aught.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
(9) Are all of them vanity . . .—Once more Isaiah’s favourite tohu—the symbol of the primeval chaos. Their delectable things . . .—The generic term used for works of art (Isaiah 2:16), specially for what men delight to worship. (Comp. Isaiah 64:11; Lamentations 1:10.) They are their own witnesses . . .—Better, their witnesses (i.e., the worshippers who sing their praises) see not and know not.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
Verse 9. - 10. That they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god - "That every one may be ashamed, that he hath formed a god"] The Bodleian MS., one of the first extant for its antiquity and authority, instead of מי mi, at the beginning of the tenth verse, has כי ki, which greatly clears up the construction of a very obscure passage. Doederlein approves of this reading. The Septuagint likewise closely connect in construction the end of Isa 44:9 with the beginning of Isa 44:10; and wholly omit the interrogative מי mi, which embarrasses the sentence: ΑισχυνθησονταιοἱπλασσοντεςΘεον, καιγλυφοντεςπαντεςανωφελη· "But they shall be confounded that make a god; and they who engrave unprofitable things;" agreeably to the reading of the MS. above mentioned.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 44:9
Ch. Isaiah 44:6-23. The Reality of Jehovah’s Godhead, evinced by His Predictions, and contrasted with the manifold absurdities of IdolatryThe passage, which is merely a restatement of ideas already expressed, consists of three divisions: i. Isaiah 44:6-8. A re-assertion and demonstration of the eternity and sole Divinity of Jehovah. ii. Isaiah 44:9-20. A fresh exposure—the most complete and remorseless that the book contains—of the irrationality of idol-worship. iii. Isaiah 44:21-23. An exhortation to the exiles to lay these truths to heart, and cleave to the God who forgives their sins and who alone can deliver. Isaiah 44:23 is a lyrical effusion, such as the thought of the redemption frequently calls forth from the prophet.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 44:9
They that make a graven image - A graven image is one that is cut, or sculptured out of wood or stone, in contradistinction from one that is molten, which is made by being cast.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 44:9
9. They that make… image… vanity — The subject is, heathendom itself can be called and become, like yourselves, my witnesses. They make idols which they know to be nothing.
