"For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For all the gods of the nations are idols,.... Or are "nothings" (o), nonentities; such as have not, and never had, any being, at least many of them, but in
the fancies of men; and all of them such as have no divinity in them; an idol is nothing in the world, Co1 8:4 , but the Lord made the heavens; and all the hosts of them, the sun, moon, and stars; these are the curious workmanship of his fingers, and which declare his glory, and show him to be truly and properly God, who is to be feared and worshipped; see Heb 1:10 . (o) "nihila", Tigurine version, Cocceius, Michaelis.
