Isaiah 2:22
New International Version (NIV)
22 Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils.
Why hold them in esteem?
"A breathe in their nostrils" refers to mankind's mortality. People are very limited when compared to God. They can be unreliable, selfish, and shortsighted. Yet we trust our lives and futures more readily to mortal human beings than to the all-knowing God. Remember that only God is completely reliable. He is perfect and He loves us with an enduring love (see Psalm 100:5 below).
