At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
The appointed day points to Judah's dark days, when the prophet's appeal would at last bear fruit. In that time a remnant would turn away from idols to look to their Maker. Their eyes would have respect to and honor the Holy One of Israel.
This looking to God means recognizing the Maker's love and mercy and tender compassion. Regard for God would replace regard for altars and groves and images made by human hands. Reliance on objects fashioned by men would cease. The change would bring decisive reformation.
