Day 187-11

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.  (Isaiah 2:19)

When?  The Lord has not yet shaken the earth terribly.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.  (Isaiah 2:20-21)

These passages remind me of those in Revelation:

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:  (Revelation 6:15-16)

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.  (Isaiah 3:5)

proudly - H7292 - A primitive root; to urge severely, that is, (figuratively) importune, embolden, capture, act insolently.

Used 4 times in 4 verses.  I truly expected a higher rate of return...at first the search engine did not give me anything!

So here are the other three:

Psalm 138:3 -  In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 

Proverbs 6:3 - Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

Song of Solomon 6:5 - Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

None of which really help my understanding.  My initial thought when reading the verse was that sounds like today!

Gill: 

the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient; show no respect to them, nor honour them, as the law requires in Lev_19:32 but behave insolently towards them; and so the Jews say (d), that when the son of David is come, as he now would be, young men shall make ashamed the faces of old men, and old men shall stand before young men: 

JFB:

The anarchy resulting under such imbecile rulers (Isa_3:4); unjust exactions mutually; the forms of respect violated (Lev_19:32).

K&D:

“And the people oppress one another, one this and another that; the boy breaks out violently upon the old man, and the despised upon the honoured.” Niggas is the reciprocal niphal, as the clause depicting the reciprocity clearly shows (cf., nilcham, Isa_19:2); nagas followed by Beth means to treat as a tyrant or taskmaster (Isa_9:3). The commonest selfishness would then stifle every nobler motive; one would become the tyrant of another, and ill-mannered insolence would take the place of that reverence, which is due to the old and esteemed from boys and those who are below them in position, whether we regard the law of nature, the Mosaic law (Lev_19:32), or the common custom of society. Nikleh (from kâlâh, the synonym of הקַל, Isa_9:1; Isa_23:9; cf., Isa_16:14, kal, to be light or insignificant) was a term used to denote whoever belonged to the lowest stratum of society (1Sa_18:23). It was the opposite of nichâd (from Cabed, to be heavy or of great importance). The Septuagint rendering, ὁ ἄτιμος πρὸς τὸν ἔντιμον is a very good one (as the Semitic languages have no such antithetical formations with ἃ στερητικόν). With such contempt of the distinctions arising from age and position, the state would very soon become a scene of the wildest confusion.

In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.  (Isaiah 3:7)

What ought else is there need of if we have bread, clothing, shelter?

 ~ 1Timothy 6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. ~

Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:  (Isaiah 3:16)

stretched forth - H5186 - A primitive root; to stretch or spread out; by implication to bend away (including moral deflection); used in a great variety of applications.

necks - H1627 - From H1641; the throat (compare H1621) (as roughened by swallowing).

Well...K&D commentary (in part):

But notwithstanding the dramatic vividness with which the prophet pictures to himself this scene of judgment, he is obliged to break off at the very beginning of his description, because another word of Jehovah comes upon him. This applies to the women of Jerusalem, whose authority, at the time when Isaiah prophesied, was no less influential than that of their husbands who had forgotten their calling. “Jehovah hath spoken: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk about with extended throat, and blinking with the eyes, walk about with tripping gait, and tinkle with their foot-ornaments: the Lord of all makes the crown of the daughters of Zion scabbed, and Jehovah will uncover their shame.” Their inward pride (gâbah, as in Eze_16:50; cf., Zep_3:11) shows itself outwardly. They walk with extended throat, i.e., bending the neck back, trying to make themselves taller than they are, because they think themselves so great.

That sounds familiar!  Oh, that godly men would stand forth and reclaim their God given and ordained positions as leaders, that women would embrace the fullness and completeness of being women after God's own heart.
