Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 45:20

20. Assemble your selves and come: draw near together ye that are escaped of the nations : they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven Image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

To debate the business with me concerning the Divinity of your Idols, and hear what I have said, and am now about to say again in that matter.

The remnant of the Gentiles, which shall survive those great and many destructions, which I am bringing upon the heathen Nations, for their abominable Idolatries and other wickedness. Let these dreadful judgments upon others, and Gods singular mercy in sparing you, awaken you to a more impartial and serious consideration of this point, and cast off those Idols, which have now discovered their own vanity and inability, to help those who serve them, and trust in them.

They hereby discover their deep ignorance and stupi[illegible: 1+ letters]ity.

In an high place where it may be seen and worshipped.
