Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Cease ye from man - Trust neither in him, nor in the gods that he has invented. Neither he, nor they, can either save or destroy.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
The high ones (Isa 2:11, Isa 2:13) on whom the people trust, shall be "brought low" (Isa 3:2); therefore "cease from" depending on them, instead of on the Lord (Psa 146:3-5). Next: Isaiah Chapter 3
Tyndale Open Study Notes
2:22 The judgment prophecy of 2:6-21 is set between two related exhortations: to trust the Lord (2:5) and not to put trust in human beings (2:22). • Human strength is temporary, frail as breath (see Ps 90).
Isaiah 2:22
The Day of Reckoning
21They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. 22Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
