This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
mountain = hill country.
take pleasure = he pleased therewith.
I will be glorified = I will get Me honour. Hebrew text has 'ekkabda. This is one in a list of twenty-nine words which are without the letter He (= H) at the end (see Ginshurg's Massorah, vol. I, p. 281). App-30. This letter = five (App-10), and later Talmudists regard it as betokening the fact that five things were lacking in the second Temple, viz.: (1) the ark; (2) the sacred fire; (3) the Shekinah; (4) the Urim and Thummim; and (5) the spirit of prophecy. This list is to safeguard (App-93) the other occurrences of the word, which have this letter at the end, among them being Exo_14:4, Exo_14:17. These constitute a reference to Pent, with Lev_10:3 (which, like Hag_1:8, is without the). App-92.
saith the LORD = hath said Jehovah.
