Contextual Overview

¹⁰ They will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the Lord 's anger and to hide from his power and glory! ¹¹ A day is coming when human pride will be ended and human arrogance destroyed.

Idols will completely disappear, and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. ¹⁹ People will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the Lord 's anger and to hide from his power and glory, when he comes to shake the earth. ²⁰ When that day comes, they will throw away the gold and silver idols they have made, and abandon them to the moles and the bats.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the idols he shall utterly abolish. The images of saints worshipped by the Papists: after the destruction of antichrist, and when the spiritual reign of Christ takes place, there will be no idolatry or worshipping of images any more, see Zechariah 13:2. The word

אלילים, used for "idols", signifies things that are not, for an idol is nothing in the world, 1 Corinthians 8:4 these the Lord "will cause to pass away", even all of them, they shall disappear.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the idols - Note, Isaiah 2:8.

Abolish - Hebrew, ‘Cause to pass away or disappear.’ He shall entirely cause their worship to cease. This prediction was most remarkably fulfilled. Before the captivity at Babylon, the Jews were exceedingly prone to idolatry. It is a remarkable fact that no such propensity was ever evinced “after” that. In their own land they were entirely free from it; and scattered as they have been into all lands, they have in every age since kept clear from idolatry. Not an instance, probably, has been known of their relapsing into this sin; and no temptation, or torture, has been sufficient to induce them to bow down and worship an idol. This is one of the few instances that have occurred where affliction and punishment have “completely” answered their design.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 2:18. Shall utterly abolish - "Shall disappear"] The ancient versions and an ancient MS. read יחלפו yachalpu, plural. One of my MSS. reads יחלוף yachaloph, probably a mistake for יחלפו yachalpu.
