Exegesis
The final noun-verb pairs hašpālāh {הַשְׁפָלָה | hašpālāh} ‘the lowly’ with haggəbēhā ‘exalt her’, and wə-haggābōah {וְהַגָּבֹהַּ | wə-haggābōah} ‘the high one’ with hašpīl ‘humble’, form an antithetic parallelism that underscores divine control over social hierarchies. The Hebrew word order places commands before their objects for rhetorical impact; the English rendering delays subjects slightly for readability while preserving the force of divine decree and the theme of overturning established order.
Root and etymology
“to be high, exalted”
In context — Ezekiel 21:26
Thus says the Lord GOD : Remove the turban and take off the crown. This shall not be as it once was. Exalt the lowly, and humble the exalted.
