Isaiah 2:7

Read in context

Isaiah 2:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
