Context of Isaiah 2:10

8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made. 9So people will be brought low and everyone humbled— do not forgive them. Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty! 11The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. 12The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

Commentaries on Isaiah 2:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10"When he ariseth to strike the earth with terror" - On the authority of the Septuagint, confirmed by the Arabic and an ancient MS., I have added here to the text a line, which in the 19th and 21st verses ( Isaiah 2:19, Isaiah 2:21;) is repeated together with the preceding line, and has, I think, evidently been omitted by mistake in this place. The MS. here varies only in one letter from the reading of the other two verses; it has בארץ baarets, instead of…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Enter into the rock - That is, into the “holes or caverns” in the rocks, as a place of refuge and safety; compare Isaiah 2:19, and Revelation 6:15-16. In times of invasion by an enemy, it was natural to flee to the fastnesses or to the caverns of rocks for refuge. This expression is highly figurative and poetic. The prophet warns them to flee from danger. The sense is, that such were their crimes that they would certainly be punished; and he advises them…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-22Verses 10-22 The taking of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans seems first meant here, when idolatry among the Jews was done away; but our thoughts are led forward to the destruction of all the enemies of Christ. It is folly for those who are pursued by the wrath of God, to think to hide or shelter themselves from it. The shaking of the earth will be terrible to those who set their affections on things of the earth. Men's haughtiness will be brought down, either…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10On the day of God’s judgment, people will try to hide in caves and among the rocks. These were natural hiding places in the rocky land of Judah. Instead of repenting with humility before the almighty God, they will try to escape his judgment. Kings and leaders, as well as slaves and free people, will all look for protection from this judgment(see also Revelation 6:15). The terror of the LORD rrefers to God’s full and powerful wrath against wickedness…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Poetical form of expressing that, such were their sins, they would be obliged by God's judgments to seek a hiding-place from His wrath (Re 6:15, 16). dust--equivalent to "caves of the earth," or dust (Is 2:19). for fear, &c.--literally, "from the face of the terror of the Lord."Read the comment
