¹⁰ Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, - Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour. ¹¹ The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, - And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day. ¹² For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, shall be - Upon every one who is high and lofty, - And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low; ¹³ And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, - And upon all the oaks of Bashan; ¹⁴ And upon all the lofty mountains, - And upon all the uplifted hills; ¹⁵ And upon every high tower, - And upon every fortress wall; ¹⁶ And upon all the ships of Tarshish, - And upon all desirable banners. ¹⁷ And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, - And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, - And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day. ¹⁸ And, the idols, shall wholly pass away; ¹⁹ And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, - Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

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.
