Commentary on Isaiah 5:16
The consequence of human humbling is divine exaltation: 'the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment.' God's holiness is demonstrated ('sanctified') through righteous judgment, vindicating His character. The parallelism between exaltation and sanctification shows that God's glory and holiness are inseparable—His judgments reveal His holy nature. This anticipates Ezekiel's repeated formula 'they shall know that I am the LORD' through judgment (Ezekiel 6:7), and Romans 9:22-23's teaching that God displays both wrath and mercy for glory's sake.
