Isaiah 2:13

Isaiah 2:13

11 The¹ lofty looks of man shall be ^ahumbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted ^bin that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—

13 Upon all ^athe cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

14 ^aUpon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;

15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;

16 ^aUpon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.

<< Isaiah 2:12

Isaiah 2:14 >>

cedars . . . oaks—image for haughty nobles and princes (Amos 2:9; Zechariah 11:1-2; compare Revelation 19:18-21).

Bashan—east of Jordan, north of the river Jabbok, famous for fine oaks, pasture, and cattle. Perhaps in "oaks" there is reference to their idolatry (Isaiah 1:29).
