Isaiah 2:17

1697–1771
Reformed Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"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 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).
