In Jewish tradition

In Isaiah it means idols that people treasure and find lovely, though they have no real worth.

Interpretation. The prophet mocks idol makers: what they prize is empty. Tradition reads this as a warning against trusting made things instead of God.

Examples

They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. (Prophets ISA.44.9, JPS 1917) tree →
