And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, &c.] This, with what follows in this verse, is repeated for the confirmation and certainty of it; and also for the further explanation of what is before figuratively and metaphorically expressed. (See Gill on “<230211>Isaiah 2:11”). Jarchi interprets “that day”, here spoken of, of the day of judgment; and then indeed every tongue shall confess, whether they will or not, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father, (<503211>Philippians 2:11).
