First, What was the situation in Galatia at that time? Once that is established, the reason for the OT quote should become clearer.
On Paul and Barnabas’s first missionary tour, they had established congregations of new believers in Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe (Acts 13:13-14:28). Then arose an increasingly heated debate amongst Jewish ...

The prophecy of Isa 21:1-10 is about the fall of the Babylonian kingdom to the Medes and Persians (Dan 5:28). The OP quotes an obscure version that poorly represents the Hebrew. Note the comments from the Cambridge commentary that better translates the Hebrew of V7:
The verse reads: And if he see a troop, horsemen in pairs (1 Kings 9:25), a troop of asses,...

Which is one of the first rules for Bible study, to let scripture interpret scripture. In addition, you will find this referring to Jesus as the fulfillment of this ...

The short answer is: Ezekeiel's prophecy was not fulfilled, Isaiah's prophecy maybe.
Ezekiel prophesied against Tyre and said it would be completely destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, but this actually never happened, after 13 years of siege the babylonians gave up unable to conquer Tyre by military means. Actually Ezekiel himself gives a stunning admission in his ...
