Verse 9

Is brought from Tarshish. ] From Tarsus or Tartessus; Eze 27:12 from Africa, saith the Chaldee. Idolaters spare for no cost.
And gold from Uphaz. ] The same with Phaz; Job 28:17 or with Ophir, as some; Aurum Obzyrum.
They are all the work of cunning men. ] Quaerunt suos Phidias et Praxiteles: but how could those give that deity which themselves had not?
