Contextual Overview

10 Go into the caves of the cliffs; dig holes and hide in the ground from the anger of the Lord and from his great power! 11 Proud people will be made humble, and they will bow low with shame. At that time only the Lord will still be praised. 12 The Lord All-Powerful has a certain day planned when he will punish the proud and those who brag, and they will no longer be important. 13 He will bring down the tall cedar trees from Lebanon and the great oak trees of Bashan, 14 all the tall mountains and the high hills, 15 every tall tower and every high, strong wall, 16 all the trading ships and the beautiful ships. 17 At that time proud people will be made humble, and they will bow low with shame. At that time only the Lord will be praised, 18 but all the idols will be gone. 19 People will run to caves in the rocky cliffs and will dig holes and hide in the ground from the anger of the Lord and his great power, when he stands to shake the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills [that are] lifted up. By which may be meant either kingdoms and cities belonging to the Roman jurisdiction, or churches and monasteries, and such like religious houses, and the dissolution of them. See Revelation 16:20.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And upon all the high mountains - Judea abounded in lofty mountains, which added much to the grandeur of its natural scenery. Lowth supposes that by mountains and hills are meant here, ‘kingdoms, republics, states, cities;’ but there are probably no parallel places where they have this meaning. The meaning is probably this: high mountains and hills would not only be objects of beauty or grandeur, but also places of defense, and protection. In the caverns and fastnesses of such hills, it would be easy for the people to find refuge when the land was invaded. The meaning of the prophet then is, that the day of God’s vengeance should be upon the places of refuge and strength; the strongly fortified places, or places of sure retreat in cases of invasion; compare the notes at Isaiah 2:19.

Hills that are lifted up - That is, high, elevated hills.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 2:14. Isaiah 2:13.
