One of the great prophets of ancient Israel was Isaiah, whose prophetic ministry was in the 8th century before Christ. The length of the Old Testament book bearing his name and especially the span of time it covers leads most scholars to say that the book encompasses the sayings of two prophets who preached a common theme. In fact, some scholars say three prophets.
No matter. We are going to consider only the final verse of Isaiah chapter 2, so that would definitely be the first Isaiah. Funny how prophecy from 2,800 years ago is so wise to read before tuning in to the Trump-Clinton debate. Here is verse 2.22:
Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?
Excellent question.
