Did Prophets Copy?

[Talmid]

Why did Biblical prophets copy text of each other? (compare Isa. 2:2-4 with Micah 4:1-3, Isa. 52:7 with Nahum 1:15, Isa. 16:6,9,10-11 with Jer. 48:29,32-33,36. Isa. 11:9 with Hab. 2:14, Jer. 51:58 with Hab. 2:13, Obadiah 1:5 with Jer. 49:9, Jonah 4:2 with Joel 2:13, Amos 4:9 with Hag. 2:17

I don’t think they copy, I think they repeat the same message that they got from me God.

I agree completely. Often we repeat things for emphesis, especially things that are important. I believe that God (who is in my opinion the AUTHOR of the bible) simply repeated certain important themes by sending different prophets, so that people would "get the message".
