Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 2:10
Isaiah 2:10. Enter into the rock— The prophet's discourse is here most sublime, in order to fill the mind with the highest ideas of the divine judgment impending. We have a preface concerning the greatness of this judgment, Isaiah 2:10-11 a more clear exposition of it with respect to the subjects to be humbled by God, with the consequences of it; Isa 2:12-21 and an admonition is subjoined at the end, Isaiah 2:22. The preface is figurative; and its aim is, to teach, that in the revelation of... read more

10. 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 (Revelation 6:15; Revelation 6:16). dust—equivalent to "caves of the earth," or dust (Revelation 6:16- :). for fear, &c.—literally, "from the face of the terror of the Lord." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 2:5-22
The results of trusting in people 2:5-22This emphasis is a major one in Isaiah 1-39, and the prophet introduced it at this point. Many in his day-and this is still true today-preferred to trust in strong people, especially nations, rather than in the Lord.The prophet’s first exhortation 2:5In view of what the nations will do eventually, Isaiah appealed to the house of Jacob (Israel) to do the same thing immediately, namely: walk in the Lord’s light (presence and truth). Commit to following the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 2:10-11
The proud and lofty people would eventually try to hide from God’s judgment of them when He exalts Himself in the day of His reckoning (see Isaiah 2:12). Having boasted in earthly resources (Isaiah 2:6-8), they now have only the earth to turn to (cf. Isaiah 1:24). Contrast the nations that the Lord will accept in the future (Isaiah 2:4)."In preaching as he does here, Isaiah is going contrary to modern psychological theories which assert that it is unwise and even wrong to use fear as a motif in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 2:10-21
The effect of the problem: humiliation 2:10-21Isaiah 2:10-21 are a poem on the nature and results of divine judgment. Note the repetition of key words and phrases at the beginnings and ends of the sections and subsections. This section breaks down as follows:The Lord is exalted over man and the world (Isaiah 2:10-17)The fact that the Lord is exalted and man is humbled (Isaiah 2:10-11)The demonstration that the Lord is exalted over every exalted thing (Isaiah 2:12-17)The Lord is exalted over... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-22
2-4. occur also with a few slight variations in Micah 4:1-4. The passage appears to be borrowed in Isaiah, because (a) it suits its context better in Micah, and (b) it is more complete in Micah, Micah 4:4 being a part of it. If Isaiah is quoting from Micah, the latter prophet must have spoken the words before the occasion referred to in Jeremiah 26:18. Both prophets may be quoting from some ancient and well-known prediction regarding the future of Zion.2. In the last days] RV ’in the latter... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 2:1-30
Isaiah’s Preaching early in the Reign of AhazIsaiah 2-4 are closely connected, and Isaiah 5 is generally thought to belong to the same period, though it probably represents discourses delivered rather later. There are two points which serve as indications of date: (a) The influx of foreign fashions, both in religion (Isaiah 2:6, Isaiah 2:8) and in common life (Isaiah 3:16-23, where the difficulty of explaining the names for the various articles of female attire from the Hebrew suggests that the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 2:10
(10) Enter into the rock.—The limestone caverns of Palestine were natural asylums in times of terror and dismay (Judges 6:2; Judges 15:8; 1 Samuel 13:6; 1 Samuel 14:11; 1 Samuel 24:3; 1 Kings 18:4). Here, as in Micah 1:4, we may probably trace the impression left by the earthquake under Uzziah (Amos 1:1), when the people fled in terror from the city (Zechariah 14:5). Isaiah foresees the recurrence of a like panic in the future. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 2:1-22
Jerusalem as it should be and as it is (2:1-22)God’s people always looked for the day when Jerusalem would be the religious centre of the world, where people of all nations would go to be taught the ways of God. In that day there would be no more war, but contentment and prosperity (2:1-4). (A note on the new Jerusalem is included in the introduction to Chapters 40-66, where the subject of Jerusalem’s future glory is considered more fully.) Such hope for the future is all the more reason why... read more
