Commentary on Isaiah Volume 1 John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
6. Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
6. Certe deseruisti populum tuum, domum Iacob: eo quod impleti sint Oriente, (vel, antiquitate,) et auguribus, ut Philistaei: atque in filiis alienis acquieverint.
7. Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
7. Impletur est terra ejus argento et auro; nec finis thesauris ejus. Equis quoque repleta est terra ejus, nec quadrigis ejus finis.
8. Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
8. Impleta est etiam terra ejus idolis: et coram opere manuum suorum se incurvarunt, coram eo quod fixerunt digiti ipsorum.
9. And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
9. Et inclinatus est homo, et humiliatus est vir: ideo, ne remittas, (vel, non remittes.)

11. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
11. Sublimitas oculorum hominis humiliabitur, et incurvabitur altitudo hominum, et exaltabitur Iehova solus in die illa.
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:
12. Quoniam dies Iehovae exercituum super omnem superbum et excelsum, et super omne elevatum, et humile erit.
13. And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
13. Super omnes, inquam, cedros Libani sublimes et elevatos, super omnes quercus Basan,
14. And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
14. Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos, 15. And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 15. Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum, 16. And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 16. Super omnes naves Tharsis, et super exquisitas picturas. 17. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness
