“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”
Isaiah 2:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 2:22
The imperative 'Cease ye from man' commands abandoning reliance on human wisdom, power, or deliverance. The rhetorical question 'wherein is he to be accounted of?' dismisses human significance apart from God—man's breath is fleeting (Hebrew 'neshamah be'appo'—breath in his nostrils), emphasizing mortality and frailty (Psalm 144:3-4). This anticipates Jesus' warning against fearing those who kill the body (Matthew 10:28) and Paul's indictment of wisdom of this age as foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:20). True wisdom recognizes human limitation and God's supremacy.
