Isaiah 2:12

Isaiah 2:12

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

For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one; rather, For the Lord of hosts shall have a day upon everything. The passage is exegetical of "that day" in the preceding verse. A "day"—or time—is certainly coming which shall be emphatically "the Lord's"—a day on which he will descend to judgment.

Proud … lofty … lifted up (comp. ). "The ideas of eminence, pride, and opposition to God melt into each other in the Old Testament" (Cheyne). And he shall be brought low; rather, that it may be brought low (so Gesenius and Cheyne).
