Isa 2:22, Jer 48:6-7 | Geneva | STEP | 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.

Isaiah 2:22

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.

Jeremiah 48:6-7

Flee, save your lives, and be like the {e} bush in the wilderness.

(e) Hide yourselves in barren places, where the enemy will not pursue after you, Jer 17:6. For because thou hast trusted in thy {f} works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and {g} Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.

(f) That is, the idols which are the works your hands. Some read, in your possessions, for so the word may signify as in 1Sa 25:2. (g) Both your great idol and his maintainers will be led away captives so that they will then know that it is in vain to look for help at idols, Isa 15:2.
