Isaiah2:11
Ver. 11. The lofty looks of man ſhall be humbled] Ipſi antea tumidi & cervicoſi Deum ultorem agnoſcent. God ſhall bring down the haughty from their lofty tops where they have perked themſelves, and ſhall take them a link lower, as they ſay, Pride muſt have a fall; and no wonder: for whereas other ſins flee from God, pride lets flie at him; and hence it is, He is ſo utter an enemy to it.
And the Lord alone ſhall be exalted] This, the Heathens alſo underſtood: De conſen. Evang. lib. 1. cap. 18. and therefore the Romans would never receive the God of Iſrael, ſaith Auſtin, becauſe they underſtood that, He would be worſhipped alone. Let the gods of the Heathens be good fellows: the true God is a jealous God, and will not ſhare his glory with another.
In that day] Nempe ſtatis quaſi comitiis, ver. 17. at the ſet-time in it implyeth alſo▪ ſaith One, that God will keep his time to a day; we have a ſaying like our ſelves, A day breaks no ſquare: but it is not ſo with God, Exod. 12.40, 41. the firſt born were ſlain at mid-night: becauſe juſt then, the 400. or 4[illegible: 1 letter]0. years of their ſojourning in Aegypt were expired, Dan. 5.30. In that night was Belſhazzar ſlain: becauſe then exactly the Seventy years of their Captivity were ended.
