Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 2:17

"And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day." — Isaiah 2:17 (ASV)

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down. —Iteration is used as the most solemn form of emphasis. That was the burden of the prophet’s song.
