Isaiah 41:29
Douay-Rheims
Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
Ibn Ezra
They. The idols. אין = און nothing as some explain ; the letters אֹ הֹ וֹ יֹ interchange. It can, however, also be taken literally. The meaning of the verse is, they are vanity, much more so their works. נסכיהם According to some their images; comp. עגל מסכה molten calf (Ex. 32:4). I explain it their libations, that is, the libations which the idolaters offer to their idols.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
