Isaiah 2:22

_ _ The high ones (Isaiah 2:11, Isaiah 2:13) on whom the people trust, shall be “brought low” (Isaiah 3:2); therefore “cease from” depending on them, instead of on the Lord (Psalms 146:3-5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 2:10-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 2:22

Cease ye — Never admire or place your trust in man. Breath — Whose breath is quickly stopped and taken away. Wherein — What excellency is in him, considered in himself, and without dependence on God?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Cease ye from man, whose (y) breath [is] in his nostrils: for why is he to be esteemed?

(y) Cast off your vain confidence in man, whose life is so frail that if his nose is stopped he is dead and consider that you are dealing with God.
