Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 5:15

"And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:" — Isaiah 5:15 (ASV)

The common man will be brought low. —The recurrence of the burden of Isaiah 2:9; Isaiah 2:11–12; Isaiah 2:17, connects Isaiah 5:0 with the earlier portion of the introduction.
