Isaiah 26:5
Douay-Rheims
For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust.
Ibn Ezra
השח He bringeth down. A verb ע״ע like הֵקַל he afflicted slightly (8:23). Them that dwell on high, etc. This refers to the heathens. ישפילנה ישפילה He layeth it low, he layeth it low. He will continually lay it low; comp. עזי ומעזי My strength and my fortress (Jer. 16:19).
