Isaiah 2:17

17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum et humiliabitur altitudo virorum et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa

Isaiah 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:17

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down
This, with what follows in this verse, is repeated for the confirmation and certainty of it; and also for the further explanation of what is before figuratively and metaphorically expressed. (See Gill on Isaiah 2:11). Jarchi interprets "that day", here spoken of, of the day of judgment; and then indeed every tongue shall confess, whether they will or not, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father, ( Philippians 2:11 ) .

18 et idola penitus conterentur
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum et in voragines terrae a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius cum surrexerit percutere terram
