Verse 14
Every man is brutish - נבער nibar , is a boor, acts as a brute, who may suppose that a stock of a tree, formed like a man, may be an intellectual being; and therefore shuns the form as though it had life. See Isaiah 44:10 , Isaiah 44:11 . Of which verses, by the way, Dr. Blayney gives the following version to correct that of Bishop Lowth: -
- Isaiah 44:10 . Who hath formed a god? Or set up a graven image that profiteth not?
Isaiah 44:11 . Behold, all that are connected with it shall be ashamed, And the artificers, they above all men! They shall assemble all of them; they shall stand forth; They shall fear; they shall be ashamed at the same time.
