Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 44:15
וְהָיָ֤ה לְאָדָם֙ לְבָעֵ֔ר וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֵהֶם֙ וַיָּ֔חָם אַף־יַשִּׂ֖יק וְאָ֣פָה לָ֑חֶם אַף־יִפְעַל־אֵל֙ וַיִּשְׁתָּ֔חוּ עָשָׂ֥הוּ פֶ֖סֶל וַיִּסְגָּד־לָֽמוֹ׃
[Das Holz] dient dem Menschen zum Verbrennen, er nimmt davon und wärmt sich, auch heizt er und backt Brot. [Aus demselben Holz] macht er aber auch einen Gott und bückt sich; er hat ein Götzenbild daraus gemacht und kniet davor.
