11 Isaiah was speaking to the people.

## The people will be bowed down, and individuals will fall down ##

## therefore do not forgive them ##

Here Isaiah is talking to Yahweh.

## Go into the rocky places ##

Here Isaiah is again talking to the people of Judah.

## hide in the ground ##

"hide in the holes in the ground"

## from the terror of Yahweh ##

Alternate translations: "to get away from Yahweh's terrifying presence" or "from Yahweh because you will be extremely afraid of him"

## the glory of his majesty ##

Alternate translation: "his awesome power" or "his great power"

## The lofty gaze of man will be brought low, and the pride of men will be brought down ##

## Yahweh alone will be exalted ##

This can be translated with an active verb: "people will praise only Yahweh."

## on that day ##

This refers to the time when Yahweh will judge all people. Translation alternate: “on the day that Yahweh comes to judge everyone.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
