Glory Through Confession
Commentators widely agree that 'Give glory to God' in this context is not a general call to worship, but a specific, urgent command to confess sin and humble oneself in repentance. Citing Joshua 7:19, scholars like Ellicott and Gill explain it as an admission of guilt before judgment falls. To refuse to believe God's prophetic word is, as Calvin notes, to rob Him of the glory and authority He is due.
