Contextual Overview
10 Every one of you, go hide among the rocks and in the ground, because the Lord is fearsome, marvelous, and glorious. 11 When the Lord comes, everyone who is proud will be made humble, and the Lord alone will be honored. 12 The Lord All-Powerful has chosen a day when those who are proud and conceited will be put down. 13 The tall and towering cedars of Lebanon will be destroyed. So will the oak trees of Bashan, 14 all high mountains and hills, 15 every strong fortress, 16 all the seagoing ships, and every beautiful boat. 17 When that day comes, everyone who is proud will be put down. Only the Lord will be honored. 18 Idols will be gone for good. 19 You had better hide in caves and holes— the Lord will be fearsome, marvelous, and glorious when he comes to terrify people on 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.
