Berean Study Bible
On that day
This phrase refers to a specific time of divine intervention, often associated with "the Day of the Lord" in prophetic literature. In Hebrew, "yom" (day) signifies not just a 24-hour period but a significant time of God's action. Historically, this points to a future time when God will act decisively to purify and restore His people. It is a day of both judgment and redemption, emphasizing God's sovereign control over history.

you will not be put to shame
The Hebrew root "bosh" means to be ashamed or disgraced. In the ancient Near Eastern context, shame was a profound social and spiritual state. Here, God promises the removal of shame, indicating forgiveness and restoration. This reflects the transformative power of God's grace, where past sins no longer define the identity of His people.

for all the wrongs you have done to Me
The phrase highlights the personal nature of sin against God. The Hebrew word "pasha" (wrongs) implies rebellion or transgression. This underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, where sin is not just a legal violation but a breach of relational trust. The acknowledgment of these wrongs is crucial for understanding the depth of God's mercy.

because I will remove from among you your proud, arrogant ones
"Proud" and "arrogant" translate from Hebrew words "ge'eh" and "zadown," which denote pride and insolence. In biblical terms, pride is often the root of sin, leading to self-reliance and rebellion against God. The removal of such individuals signifies a purification process, where God cleanses His community to restore holiness and humility.

and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain
"Haughty" comes from the Hebrew "gabhah," meaning to be high or exalted. The "holy mountain" refers to Zion, the spiritual center of God's presence and worship. This promise indicates a future where God's people will live in humility and reverence, fully aligned with His will. It reflects the eschatological hope of a restored relationship between God and His people, where pride is replaced by worship and obedience.

Pulpit Commentary
Verses 11-13. - § 2. Israel, restored to God's favour, shall be cleansed and sanctified. Verse 11. - In that day. When the Lord rises to seize the prey (ver. 8), when the Gentiles are converted, and Judah returns to her obedience. Shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings. God addresses Israel repentant and converted, and assures her that she shall not have to reproach herself any more, or to blush for her iniquities, because God blots them out, or because she sins no more as she has done. And the great help to this improvement is the abolition of the cause and incitement to sin. I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride (thy proud triumphers, Isaiah 13:3). God will cut off all those who gloried in their temporal prosperity without thought of God, who in the pride of their heart walked as they pleased, deeming themselves accountable to no one, subject to no law. Such shall no longer be found in the holy nation. Haughty because of (in) my holy mountain; i.e. in the temple (Isaiah 11:9). They shall no longer exult in the exclusiveness of their privileges, or feel a vain glorious confidence in their own election, or the sanctity of their temple or its provision of worship. The Gentiles should be admitted to the covenant, and share in their privileges. Here we see adumbrated the nature of the Christian Church, an organized body no longer local, insulated, but Catholic - a spiritual temple open to all believers.
