Contextual Overview
10 You should be afraid of the Lord ! Go hide in the dirt and behind the rocks. Hide from his glorious power! 11 Proud people will stop being proud. They will bow down to the ground with shame, and only the Lord will still stand high. 12 The Lord All-Powerful has a special day planned when he will punish the proud and boastful people. They will be brought down. 13 They might be like the tall cedar trees from Lebanon or the great oak trees from Bashan, but they will be cut down. 14 They might be like the tall mountains and high hills 15 or like the tall towers and high walls, but they will be brought down. 16 They might be like great ships from Tarshish, filled with such wonderful cargo, but they will be brought down. 17 At that time those proud people will fall. They will bow low to the ground, and only the Lord will stand high. 18 All the idols will be gone. 19 People will go into the holes in the ground and the cracks in the rocks because they fear the Lord and his great power as he stands to shake the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,.... 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. :-. 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, Philippians 2:11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And the loftiness ... - see the note at Isaiah 2:11. The repetition of this makes it strongly emphatic.
