What does Isaiah 2:13 mean?

What high and mighty things do human beings put their trust in instead of the Lord of hosts? Isaiah begins to list some of these items (Isaiah 2:14–18). In every case, the day of the Lord will come and bring those things low.

He begins with mighty trees, those of Lebanon and Bashan. These sizable trees were used to make powerful structures; they were sources of beauty and protection. The Lord is greater than such trees. Human beings may put their trust in large, natural wonders. They may feel that resources and wealth can make them secure (Proverbs 11:28; Psalm 49:5–6), but the Lord can quickly and easily bring their destruction (Psalm 20:7; 33:17).
