📚 Historical Context
Isaiah prophesied during a time when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were facing judgment for their pride and rebellion against God. The people had become wealthy and self-reliant, trusting in their own strength rather than in the LORD. This verse is part of a larger prophecy about God's coming judgment on human pride and the establishment of His kingdom.
