Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 2:21-22

"to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?" — Isaiah 2:21-22 (ASV)

To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?"

What a rebuke this is to kingcraft and to priestcraft especially.

Wherein is he to be accounted of? You may lay what hands you will on him, and you may gird him with what robes you please, and you may pour upon him your anointing oil and your sacred chrisms; but what is he, after all, but a man whose breath is in his nostrils? Cease you from him, for wherein is he to be accounted of?
