Summary

Isaiah 2:14 describes a day of reckoning when the Lord will judge the proud and lofty, bringing them low. This verse conveys the message that human pride and arrogance will be humbled before the majesty and sovereignty of God. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of exalting oneself above God and others, emphasizing the importance of humility and reverence before the Lord. Ultimately, it points to the reality that God's justice will prevail, and all will be held accountable for their actions and attitudes.
