Isa_2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Ver. 12. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud.] These he "knoweth afar off"; {Psa_138:6} these he "resisteth" as it were in battle array; {Jam_4:6} these he "casteth down to the ground." {Psa_147:6} One of the seven wise men of Greece said that God made it his business to humble the proud, and to lift up the lowly.
