Isaiah 2:5-11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

THE CONTRAST OF THE PRESENT WITH THE FUTURE. Having shown to Israel the vision of a far-distant future, when holiness and peace would reign upon the earth, and "the mountain of the Lord's house" would draw all men into it, the prophet returns to things as they are—first exhorting Israel to "walk in the light of Jehovah' (Isaiah 2:5), and then showing how far they have withdrawn from the light;

Such being the case, punishment must come—mean and great must be equally brought low (Isaiah 2:9)—the people must fly to their cave-fastnesses (Isaiah 2:10), and hide themselves; they must be humiliated to the uttermost (Isaiah 2:11).
