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.
