Ibn Ezra, on Isa 46:2
Ibn Ezra · 1089–1167
Isa 46:2 · Douay-Rheims
“They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.”
On this verse:
“They bow down. The beasts that carry the idols, bow down. The burden. Their idols. נפשם Their souls, that is, the persons carried by the beasts, are gone into captivity. They were also carried away as captives. Others explain the verse thus : They, that is, all the idols that are left in Babylon, and are not yet mentioned, stoop and bow down, and cannot deliver the burden, for they must go themselves into captivity.”
