Isa 2:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.”
On this verse:
“cedars . . . oaks--image for haughty nobles and princes (Amo 2:9; Zac 11:1-2; compare Rev 19:18-21). Bashan--east of Jordan, north of the river Jabbok, famous for fine oaks, pasture, and cattle. Perhaps in "oaks" there is reference to their idolatry (Isa 1:29).”
