isaiah 2:9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

isaiah 2:9 So the [common] man has been humbled, And the man [of importance] has been abased, But do not forgive them.

boweth--namely, to idols. All ranks were idolaters.
forgive . . . not--a threat expressed by an imperative. Isaiah so identifies himself with God's will, that he prays for that which he knows God purposes. So Re 18:6.

isaiah 2:9 So the [common] man has been humbled, And the man [of importance] has been abased, But do not forgive them.
