Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - A pause may be supposed between vers. 23 and 24, during which the idol-gods are given the opportunity of "bringing, forth their strong reasons," and, in one way or other, proving their Divinity. But they are stricken dumb; they say nothing. Accordingly, "judgment goes against them by default" (Cheyne), and Jehovah breaks out upon them with words of contempt and contumely, Behold, ye are of nothing, etc. "Ye are utterly vain and futile."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) Behold, ye are of nothing.--This is the summing up of the prophet, speaking as in the Judge's name. The idol was "nothing in the world" (1Corinthians 8:4). The demonic view of the gods of the heathen does not appear, as in St. Paul's argument (1Corinthians 10:20), side by side with that of their nothingness.
