Contextual Overview
10 Go into the rock and hide in the dust from the anger of the Lord and from the shining-greatness of His power. 11 The proud look of man will be put to shame. The pride of men will be taken away. And the Lord alone will be honored in that day. 12 On that day the Lord of All will be against everyone who is proud and feels important, and against all who are honored. They will be put to shame. 13 He will be against all the cedar trees of Lebanon that are tall and honored, and against all the oak trees of Bashan. 14 He will be against all the high mountains, against all the high hills, 15 against every high tower, and against every strong wall. 16 He will be against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the beautiful boats. 17 The pride of man will be taken away. What men honor will be put to shame. The Lord alone will be honored in that day. 18 All the false gods will be gone. 19 Men will go into the caves of the rocks and into holes of the earth because of the anger of the Lord and the shining-greatness of His power when He rises up 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.
