Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

2:10 hide thee in the dust. The prophecies of Isaiah 2:10-22 will be fulfilled in their ultimate sense in the coming great tribulation period of the end-times. Note the context (Isaiah 2:12).


2:12 the day of the LORD. This is the first, and thus definitive use of the prophetic phrase, “the day of the LORD” in the Bible. The phrase often applies precursively to an imminent judgment of God (as in Isaiah 3:1), but primarily and ultimately to the time of the great tribulation.


2:19 shake terribly the earth. While the first nine verses of this chapter focus on the sins of Judah and Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1), the coming judgment on the Holy Land is only a type of the judgment on the whole world in the last days, and the remainder of the chapter leaps ahead to a vision of this great end-time judgment. Compare the same scene in Revelation 6:15-17.
