Isaiah1:31
31 And the strong shall be as tow , and the maker of it as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Either 1. your Idols, which you think to be strong, and able to defend you, as appears by your Confidence in them; or 2. the strongest Persons among you, who think to secure themselves against the threatned danger by their Wealth, or Power, or Wisdom; and much more they that are weak and helpless.
Shall be as suddenly and easily consumed by my Judgments, as Tow is by Fire.
The Maker of the Idol, who can neither save himself nor his Workmanship. Or, his work; either all that he doth or can do, or that which he hath done, his wicked course of Life, shall bring him to ruine.
Marginal references: Or, and his work.
