Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
impoverished—literally, "sunk" in circumstances.
no oblation—he who cannot afford to overlay his idol with gold and silver (Isaiah 40:19).
tree . . . not rot—the cedar, cypress, oak, or ash (Isaiah 44:14).
graven—of wood; not a molten one of metal.
not be moved—that shall be durable.
