# People bow down, and men abase themselves

Possible meanings are 1) this continues the thought of [Isaiah 9:8](../09/08.md) and describes how the people worship their idols or 2) this is the beginning of Isaiah's description of how Yahweh will punish the idolators. Alternate translation: "People will be brought down, and the men will be abased" or "God will make people ashamed, and they will realize that all they trusted in is worthless" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
