“Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:27 Brought me forth - Or begotten me; so is the word used, #Gen 4:18|. This denotes the sottish stupidity of this people, to take a lifeless stock or stone to be their maker, and to give the honour of God unto them, #Isa 44:17|. Turned - They turn their faces towards their idols.
