God Exalted
R. Macculloch. Isaiah 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down… 1. By entertaining elevating apprehensions of His infinite majesty, and exercising suitable affections towards Him — fearing Him who pours contempt upon princes, trusting in Him in whom is everlasting strength, and loving Him in whose favour there is life. 2. By celebrating the praises of His Divine excellencies with gratitude and joy. 3. By such conduct as may give the most sensible and lively representation of God — beginning, carrying on, and ending all their businesses in Him; making His love the principle, His law the rule, and His glory the end of all their actions. (R. Macculloch.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. WEB: The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the haughtiness of men will be bowed down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day.
