2:2
“There is no one holy like the Lord”. Holy means set apart. God is completely different from all others. He is different morally, we see this demonstrated most clearly in Jesus. He is different in all respects. So when we consider a situation to be impossible, that is because we base our deduction on what man can or cannot do. The Lord is different, so the possibilities are different.
“There is no one besides you”. The Lord is unique, no one is like Him, He is the only Rock on which we should stand.
2:3
It is not clear who verse 3 is addressed to, probably Hannah is thinking of Peninnah, but we can apply it to anyone, or the devil, when they mock us, speaking arrogantly over us. People do this with pride, thinking that they are beyond rebuke. But the Lord knows all that people do, and He is the one who makes the final judgement.
