Isaiah 2:10

Enter into the rock and hide thee in the dust

The sinner’s ignominy before the manifestation of God’s glory

No other course is now left open for them but to follow the sarcastic command of the prophet: “Creep into the rock, and bury thyself in the dust, before the dread look of Jehovah, and before the glory of His majesty!” The nation that was supposed to be a glorious one shall and must creep away and hide itself ignominiously, when the glory of God which it had rejected, but which alone is true glory, is judicially manifested.

It must conceal itself in holes of the rocks as if from a host of foes (Judges 6:2; 1 Samuel 13:6; 1 Samuel 14:11), and bury themselves with their faces in the sand, as from the deadly simoom of the desert, that they may but avoid the necessity of enduring this intolerable sight. (F. Delitzsch, D. D.)
