In the ancient Near East, each nation had its own pantheon of gods, often represented by physical idols. These idols were central to the religious and cultural identity of these nations. The Bible frequently contrasts the living God of Israel with the lifeless idols of other nations (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/44-9.htm">Isaiah 44:9-20</a>). This distinction underscores the uniqueness of Israel's monotheistic faith in a polytheistic world.<p><b>are silver and gold</b><br>Silver and gold were valuable materials in the ancient world, often used to craft idols, signifying wealth and status. The use of precious metals for idols is mentioned in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/2-20.htm">Isaiah 2:20</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/10-9.htm">Jeremiah 10:9</a>. These metals were not only chosen for their beauty and value but also for their durability. However, the Bible emphasizes that despite their material worth, these idols are powerless and cannot compare to the living God (<a href="/psalms/115-4.htm">Psalm 115:4-8</a>).<p><b>made by the hands of men</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the human origin of idols, contrasting them with the divine creation of the universe by God. The act of crafting idols is depicted as futile and foolish in the Bible, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/44-13.htm">Isaiah 44:13-17</a>, where the same materials used for idols are also used for mundane purposes. This highlights the absurdity of worshiping something man-made. The Bible consistently teaches that God is the Creator, not a creation, and thus worthy of worship (<a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>, <a href="/romans/1-25.htm">Romans 1:25</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the various peoples and cultures surrounding Israel, often characterized by their worship of idols.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/idols.htm">Idols</a></b><br>Objects of worship made from materials like silver and gold, representing false gods.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/h/hands_of_men.htm">Hands of Men</a></b><br>Indicates the human origin of these idols, emphasizing their man-made nature and lack of divine power.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_futility_of_idolatry.htm">The Futility of Idolatry</a></b><br>Idols, though made of precious materials, are powerless and cannot compare to the living God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_creator_vs._the_created.htm">The Creator vs. the Created</a></b><br>Worship should be directed to the Creator, not the creations of human hands.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/m/modern_idolatry.htm">Modern Idolatry</a></b><br>Idolatry today may not involve physical idols but can include anything that takes precedence over God in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God’s Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognizing God’s ultimate authority and power over all nations and their idols.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/call_to_worship.htm">Call to Worship</a></b><br>Encouragement to worship God in spirit and truth, avoiding the distractions of modern-day idols.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_135.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 135</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_address_ancient_belief_in_idols.htm">Psalm 135:15–18 dismisses idols as mere human constructs—how do we address ancient records and artifacts that suggest widespread and longstanding belief in these deities? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_on_idol_food.htm">What does the Bible say about food offered to idols?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/do_ancient_religions_challenge_psalm_100_3.htm">Could the historical and archaeological evidence of diverse ancient religions challenge the exclusivity of “the Lord is God” (Psalm 100:3)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_86_8_conflict_with_monotheism.htm">Psalm 86:8 - Does acknowledging the existence of 'other gods' conflict with the Bible's insistence on strict monotheism?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/135.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(15, 16) With slight variations from <a href="/context/psalms/115-4.htm" title="Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.">Psalm 115:4-8</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/135.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 15-18.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
