TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:5-22 The prophet threatened judgment and scoffed at human pride. All human structures (religious, economic, military, social) will come under divine scrutiny and be found deficient on the day of the Lord—that final day in history when God will judge the wicked once and for all (1 Cor 1:8; 1 Thes 5:2; 2 Thes 2:2; 2 Pet 3:10; Rev 20:7-15). At times, the prophets also used the expression “the day of the Lord” (or others like it, such as “that day”) to refer to special instances of God’s judgment upon wickedness during the course of history (see Isa 13:6, 9; Ezek 13:5; 30:3; Obad 1:15). On the day of the Lord, God alone will be exalted, while all human wickedness and pride will be struck down. The glorious day of God’s coming will fill wicked and arrogant humans with terror (Isa 2:10, 19, 21).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) high tower … impregnable wall

(Some words not found in UHB: and,against all/each/any/every tower high and,against all/each/any/every wall fortified )

These refer to things people would build around their cities so they could defend themselves against their enemies. They are a metaphor for the Israelites’ pride and belief that they had no need for Yahweh and could stand against any punishment Yahweh would mete out to them for their sins.

(Occurrence 0) impregnable wall

(Some words not found in UHB: and,against all/each/any/every tower high and,against all/each/any/every wall fortified )

Alternate translation: “wall that nothing can break down or go through”
