Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
What profiteth - (Hath profited) הועיל מה. Samuel warned them, "Serve the Lord with all your heart, and turn ye not aside; for (it would be) after vanities which will not profit nor deliver for they are vain:" and Jeremiah tells their past; "their prophets prophesied by Baal; and after things יועילי לא which profit not, have they gone." Elsewhere the idol is spoken of as a thing "which will not profit" (future) "My people hath changed its glory יועיל בלא for that which profiteth not," Jer 2:8, Jer 2:11. So Isaiah, "Who hath formed a god, הועיל לבלתי not to profit." Isa 44:9.10. "The makers of a graven image are all of them vanity, and their desirable things יועילו בל will not profit." The graven image, that the maker therefore hath graven it? - What did Baal and Ashtaroth profit you? What availed it ever but to draw down the wrath of God? Even so neither shall it profit the Chaldaean. As their idols availed them not, so neither need they fear them. Sennacherib and Nebuchadnezzar were propagandists of their own belief and would destroy, if they could, all other worship, false or true : Nebuchadnezzar is thought to have set up his own image Dan. 3. Antichrist will set himself up as God Th2 2:4; Rev 13:15-17. We may take warning at least by our own sins. If we had no profit at all from them, neither will the like profit others. the Jews did, in the main, learn this in their captivity. The molten image and teacher of lies - It is all one whether by "teacher of lies" we understand the idol , or its priest . For its priest gave it its voice, as its maker created its form. It could only seem to teach through the idol-priest. Isaiah used the title "teacher of lies," of the false prophet Isa 9:14. It is all one. Zechariah combines them Zac 10:2; "The teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have had false dreams." That the maker of his work trusteth therein - This was the special folly of idolatry. The thing made must needs he inferior to its maker. It was one of the corruptions of idolatry that the maker of his own work should trust in what was wholly his own creation, what, not God, but himself created, what had nothing but what it had from himself . He uses the very words which express the relation of man to God, "the Framer" and "the thing framed." Isa 29:16, "O your perverseness! Shall the framer be accounted as clay, theft the thing made should say of its Maker, He made me not, and the thing framed say of its Framer, He hath no hands?" The idol-maker is "the creator of his creature," of his god whom he worships. Again the idol-maker makes "dumb idols" (literally, "dumb nothings") in themselves nothings, and having no power out of themselves; and what is uttered in their name, are but lies. And what else are man's idols of wealth, honor, fame, which he makes to himself, the creatures of his own hands or mind, their greatness existing chiefly in his own imagination before which he bows down himself, who is the image of God?

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
trusteth (See Scofield) - (Psa 2:12).

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
Fifth and last strophe. - Hab 2:18. "What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath carved it; the molten image and the teacher of lies, that the maker of his image trusteth in him to make dumb idols? Hab 2:19. Woe to him that saith to the wood, Wake up; Awake, to the hard stone. Should it teach? Behold, it is encased in gold and silver, and there is nothing of breath in its inside. Hab 2:20. But Jehovah is in His holy temple: let all the world be silent before Him." This concluding strophe does not commence, like the preceding ones, with hōi, but with the thought which prepares the way for the woe, and is attached to what goes before to strengthen the threat, all hope of help being cut off from the Chaldaean. Like all the rest of the heathen, the Chaldaean also trusted in the power of his gods. This confidence the prophet overthrows in Hab 2:18 : "What use is it?" equivalent to "The idol is of no use" (cf. Jer 2:11; Isa 44:9-10). The force of this question still continues in massēkhâh: "Of what use is the molten image?" Pesel is an image carved out of wood or stone; massēkhâh an image cast in metal. הועיל is the perfect, expressing a truth founded upon experience, as a fact: What profit has it ever brought? Mōreh sheqer (the teacher of lies) is not the priest or prophet of the idols, after the analogy of Mic 3:11 and Isa 9:14; for that would not suit the following explanatory clause, in which עליו (in him) points back to mōreh sheqer: "that the maker of idols trusteth in him (the teacher of lies)." Consequently the mōreh sheqer must be the idol itself; and it is so designated in contrast with the true God, the teacher in the highest sense (cf. Job 36:22). The idol is a teacher of lying, inasmuch as it sustains the delusion, partly by itself and partly through its priests, that it is God, and can do what men expect from God; whereas it is nothing more than a dumb nonentity ('elı̄l 'illēm: compare εἴδωλα ἄφωνα, Co1 12:2). Therefore woe be to him who expects help from such lifeless wood or image of stone. עץ is the block of wood shaped into an idol. Hâqı̄tsâh, awake! sc. to my help, as men pray to the living God (Psa 35:23; Psa 44:24; Psa 59:6; Isa 51:9). הוּא יורה is a question of astonishment at such a delusion. This is required by the following sentence: it is even encased in gold. Tâphas: generally to grasp; here to set in gold, to encase in gold plate (zâhâbh is an accusative). כּל אין: there is not at all. רוּח, breath, the spirit of life (cf. Jer 10:14). Hab 2:18 and Hab 2:19 contain a concise summary of the reproaches heaped upon idolatry in Isa 44:9-20; but they are formed quite independently, without any evident allusions to that passage. In Hab 2:20 the contrast is drawn between the dumb lifeless idols and the living God, who is enthroned in His holy temple, i.e., not the earthly temple at Jerusalem, but the heavenly temple, or the temple as the throne of the divine glory (Isa 66:1), as in Mic 1:2, whence God will appear to judge the world, and to manifest His holiness upon the earth, by the destruction of the earthly powers that rise up against Him. This thought is implied in the words, "He is in His holy temple," inasmuch as the holy temple is the palace in which He is enthroned as Lord and Ruler of the whole world, and from which He observes the conduct of men (Psa 11:4). Therefore the whole earth, i.e., all the population of the earth, is to be still before Him, i.e., to submit silently to Him, and wait for His judgment. Compare Zep 1:7 and Zac 2:13, where the same command is borrowed from this passage, and referred to the expectation of judgment. חס is hardly an imper. apoc. of הסה, but an interjection, from which the verb hâsâh is formed. But if the whole earth must keep silence when He appears as Judge, it is all over with the Chaldaean also, with all his glory and might.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
What profiteth the graven image - This is against idolatry in general, and every species of it, as well as against those princes, priests, and people who practice it, and encourage others to do the same. See on Isa 44:9-10 (note); Isa 46:2 (note). Dumb idols? - אלילים אלמים elilim illemim, "dumb nothings." This is exactly agreeable to St. Paul, Co1 8:4, who says, "An idol is nothing in the world." What signify the idols worshipped by the Chaldeans, Tyrians, and Egyptians? They have not been able to save their worshippers.

¹⁹ Woe [01945] unto him that saith [0559] to the wood [06086], Awake [06974]; to the dumb [01748] stone [068], Arise [05782], it shall teach [03384] ! Behold, it is laid [08610] over with gold [02091] and silver [03701], and there is no breath [07307] at all in the midst [07130] of it.

¹⁶ Surely your turning of things upside down [02017] shall be esteemed [02803] as the potter's [03335] clay [02563]: for shall the work [04639] say [0559] of him that made [06213] it, He made [06213] me not? or shall the thing framed [03336] say [0559] of him that framed [03335] it, He had no understanding [0995]?

² For the idols [08655] have spoken [01696] vanity [0205], and the diviners [07080] have seen [02372] a lie [08267], and have told [01696] false [07723] dreams [02472]; they comfort [05162] in vain [01892]: therefore they went [05265] their way as a flock [06629], they were troubled [06031], because there was no shepherd [07462].

¹⁴ Therefore the LORD [03068] will cut off [03772] from Israel [03478] head [07218] and tail [02180], branch [03712] and rush [0100], in one [0259] day [03117].

¹⁵ And [2532] he [846] had power [1325] to give [1325] life [4151] unto the image [1504] of the beast [2342], that [2443] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should [2980] both [2532] speak [2980], and [2532] cause [4160] that as many as [3745] would [302] [4352] not [3361] worship [4352] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should be killed [2443] [615].
¹⁶ And [2532] he causeth [4160] all [3956], both small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], [2532] rich [4145] and [2532] poor [4434], [2532] free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], to [2443] [846] receive [1325] a mark [5480] in [1909] their [846] right hand [1188] [5495], or [2228] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]:
¹⁷ And [2532] that no [3363] man [5100] might [1410] buy [59] or [2228] sell [4453], save he [1508] that had [2192] the mark [5480], or [2228] the name [3686] of the beast [2342], or [2228] the number [706] of his [846] name [3686].

⁴ Who [3588] opposeth [480] and [2532] exalteth [5229] himself above [1909] all [3956] that is called [3004] God [2316], or [2228] that is worshipped [4574]; so [5620] that he [846] as [5613] God [2316] sitteth [2523] in [1519] the temple [3485] of God [2316], shewing [584] himself [1438] that [3754] he is [2076] God [2316].

¹¹ Hath a nation [01471] changed [03235] their gods [0430], which are yet no gods [0430]? but my people [05971] have changed [04171] their glory [03519] for that which doth not profit [03276].

⁸ The priests [03548] said [0559] not, Where is the LORD [03068]? and they that handle [08610] the law [08451] knew [03045] me not: the pastors [07462] also transgressed [06586] against me, and the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] by Baal [01168], and walked [01980] after [0310] things that do not profit [03276].

¹² Kiss [05401] the Son [01248], lest he be angry [0599], and ye perish [06] from the way [01870], when his wrath [0639] is kindled [01197] but a little [04592]. Blessed [0835] are all they that put their trust [02620] in him.

¹³ Be silent [02013], O all flesh [01320], before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for he is raised up [05782] out of his holy [06944] habitation [04583].

⁷ Hold thy peace [02013] at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]: for the LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] a sacrifice [02077], he hath bid [06942] his guests [07121].

⁴ The LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964], the LORD'S [03068] throne [03678] is in heaven [08064]: his eyes [05869] behold [02372], his eyelids [06079] try [0974], the children [01121] of men [0120].

² Hear [08085], all ye people [05971]; hearken [07181], O earth [0776], and all that therein [04393] is: and let the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] be witness [05707] against you, the Lord [0136] from his holy [06944] temple [01964].

¹ Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], The heaven [08064] is my throne [03678], and the earth [0776] is my footstool [07272] [01916]: where is the house [01004] that ye build [01129] unto me? and where is the place [04725] of my rest [04496]?

²⁰ But the LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964]: let all the earth [0776] keep silence [02013] before [06440] him.

⁹ They that make [03335] a graven image [06459] are all of them vanity [08414]; and their delectable things [02530] shall not profit [03276]; and they are their own witnesses [05707]; they see [07200] not, nor know [03045]; that they may be ashamed [0954].
¹⁰ Who hath formed [03335] a god [0410], or molten [05258] a graven image [06459] that is profitable [03276] for nothing [01115]?
¹¹ Behold, all his fellows [02270] shall be ashamed [0954]: and the workmen [02796], they are of men [0120]: let them all be gathered together [06908], let them stand up [05975]; yet they shall fear [06342], and they shall be ashamed [0954] together [03162].
¹² The smith [01270] [02796] with the tongs [04621] both worketh [06466] in the coals [06352], and fashioneth [03335] it with hammers [04717], and worketh [06466] it with the strength [03581] of his arms [02220]: yea, he is hungry [07457], and his strength [03581] faileth [0369]: he drinketh [08354] no water [04325], and is faint [03286].
¹³ The carpenter [02796] [06086] stretcheth out [05186] his rule [06957]; he marketh it out [08388] with a line [08279]; he fitteth [06213] it with planes [04741], and he marketh it out [08388] with the compass [04230], and maketh [06213] it after the figure [08403] of a man [0376], according to the beauty [08597] of a man [0120]; that it may remain [03427] in the house [01004].
¹⁴ He heweth him down [03772] cedars [0730], and taketh [03947] the cypress [08645] and the oak [0437], which he strengtheneth [0553] for himself among the trees [06086] of the forest [03293]: he planteth [05193] an ash [0766], and the rain [01653] doth nourish [01431] it.
¹⁵ Then shall it be for a man [0120] to burn [01197]: for he will take [03947] thereof, and warm [02552] himself; yea, he kindleth [05400] it, and baketh [0644] bread [03899]; yea, he maketh [06466] a god [0410], and worshippeth [07812] it; he maketh [06213] it a graven image [06459], and falleth down [05456] thereto.
¹⁶ He burneth [08313] part [02677] thereof in [01119] the fire [0784]; with part [02677] thereof he eateth [0398] flesh [01320]; he roasteth [06740] roast [06748], and is satisfied [07646]: yea, he warmeth [02552] himself, and saith [0559], Aha [01889], I am warm [02552], I have seen [07200] the fire [0217]:
¹⁷ And the residue [07611] thereof he maketh [06213] a god [0410], even his graven image [06459]: he falleth down [05456] unto it, and worshippeth [07812] it, and prayeth [06419] unto it, and saith [0559], Deliver [05337] me; for thou art my god [0410].
¹⁸ They have not known [03045] nor understood [0995]: for he hath shut [02902] their eyes [05869], that they cannot see [07200]; and their hearts [03826], that they cannot understand [07919].
¹⁹ And none considereth [07725] in his heart [03820], neither is there knowledge [01847] nor understanding [08394] to say [0559], I have burned [08313] part [02677] of it in [01119] the fire [0784]; yea, also I have baked [0644] bread [03899] upon the coals [01513] thereof; I have roasted [06740] flesh [01320], and eaten [0398] it: and shall I make [06213] the residue [03499] thereof an abomination [08441]? shall I fall down [05456] to the stock [0944] of a tree [06086]?
²⁰ He feedeth [07462] on ashes [0665]: a deceived [02048] heart [03820] hath turned him aside [05186], that he cannot deliver [05337] his soul [05315], nor say [0559], Is there not a lie [08267] in my right hand [03225]?

¹⁸ What profiteth [03276] the graven image [06459] that the maker [03335] thereof hath graven [06458] it; the molten image [04541], and a teacher [03384] of lies [08267], that the maker [03335] of his work [03336] trusteth [0982] therein, to make [06213] dumb [0483] idols [0457]?

¹⁴ Every man [0120] is brutish [01197] in his knowledge [01847]: every founder [06884] is confounded [03001] by the graven image [06459]: for his molten image [05262] is falsehood [08267], and there is no breath [07307] in them.

⁹ Awake [05782], awake [05782], put on [03847] strength [05797], O arm [02220] of the LORD [03068]; awake [05782], as in the ancient [06924] days [03117], in the generations [01755] of old [05769]. Art thou not it that hath cut [02672] Rahab [07294], and wounded [02490] the dragon [08577]?

⁶ They return [07725] at evening [06153]: they make a noise [01993] like a dog [03611], and go round about [05437] the city [05892].

²⁴ Wherefore hidest [05641] thou thy face [06440], and forgettest [07911] our affliction [06040] and our oppression [03906]?

²³ Stir up [05782] thyself, and awake [06974] to my judgment [04941], even unto my cause [07379], my God [0430] and my Lord [0136].

² Ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [2258] Gentiles [1484], carried away [520] unto [4314] these dumb [880] idols [1497], even as [5613] [302] ye were led [71].

²² Behold, God [0410] exalteth [07682] by his power [03581]: who teacheth [03384] like him?

¹⁴ Therefore the LORD [03068] will cut off [03772] from Israel [03478] head [07218] and tail [02180], branch [03712] and rush [0100], in one [0259] day [03117].

¹¹ The heads [07218] thereof judge [08199] for reward [07810], and the priests [03548] thereof teach [03384] for hire [04242], and the prophets [05030] thereof divine [07080] for money [03701]: yet will they lean [08172] upon the LORD [03068], and say [0559], Is not the LORD [03068] among [07130] us? none evil [07451] can come [0935] upon us.

¹¹ Hath a nation [01471] changed [03235] their gods [0430], which are yet no gods [0430]? but my people [05971] have changed [04171] their glory [03519] for that which doth not profit [03276].

²⁰ But the LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964]: let all the earth [0776] keep silence [02013] before [06440] him.

⁴ As concerning [4012] therefore [3767] the eating [1035] of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols [1494], we know [1492] that [3754] an idol [1497] is nothing [3762] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] that [3754] there is none [3762] other [2087] God [2316] but [1508] one [1520].

² They stoop [07164], they bow down [03766] together [03162]; they could [03201] not deliver [04422] the burden [04853], but themselves [05315] are gone [01980] into captivity [07628].
