Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 2:10

"Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty." — Isaiah 2:10 (ASV)

Enter into the rock. —The limestone caverns of Palestine were natural asylums in times of terror and dismay (Judges 6:2; Judges 15:8; 1 Samuel 13:6; 1 Samuel 14:11; 1 Samuel 24:3; 1 Kings 18:4). Here, as in Micah 1:4, we may probably trace the impression left by the earthquake under Uzziah (Amos 1:1), when the people fled in terror from the city (Zechariah 14:5). Isaiah foresees the recurrence of a like panic in the future.
