Isaiah 2:14

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up," — Isaiah 2:14 (ASV)

And upon all the high mountains. —Possibly the prophet may have had in his mind the thunderstorm of Psalm 29:5 — the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. The oaks of Bashan were, like the cedars of Lebanon, proverbially types of forest greatness (Isaiah 33:9). Literally, the words must have found a fulfilment in the ravages of Sargon’s and Sennacherib’s armies.
