After vain things - That is, idols; which he calls here hattohu , the same expression found Genesis 1:2. The earth was tohu ; it was waste, empty, and formless: so idols; they are confusion, and things of naught, for an idol is nothing in the world, it is not the representative of any intelligent being.
