“People are humbled.
Everyone is brought low.
Do not forgive them!
Enter into the rocks
From the terror of Yahweh!
Hide in the dust
From the glory of his majesty!
The haughty eyes of people
Shall be brought low.
The pride of everyone
Shall be humbled.
Yahweh alone
Will be exalted On that day.”
Isaiah warned that there would come a day when Yahweh, the Lord would be exalted. Then on that day the people would be humbled and brought low. Their sins would not be forgiven. They might try to hide behind rocks or in the ground, but the terror of Yahweh would find them. The glory of his majesty would overtake them. The haughty eyes of everyone would be humbled. Only Yahweh would remain alone and exalted.
