Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 28. - For I beheld. "Jehovah once more looks round to see if any of the idols possess an ability to prophesy, but in vain" (Cheyne). He finds no counsellor, i.e. no prophet, among them. Hence the final "outburst of scorn" in ver. 29, which, however, is directed primarily against the idol-worshippers, and, only through them, against the idols.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) For I beheld, and there was no man--i.e., no one who had foretold the future. Jehovah, speaking through the prophet, looks round in vain for that.
