neither [is there any] end of their treasures;
laid up in the pope's coffers, in their churches, monasteries, and convents:

their land is also full of horses, neither [is there any] end of
their chariots;
for the cardinals, archbishops, bishops to ride on and in. Horses and chariots are mentioned among the wares and merchandise of Rome, in ( Revelation 18:13 ) .

Isaiah 2:7 In-Context

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

6 For thou hast rejected thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of diviners from the east and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with foreigners.

7 Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.

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

9 So man is humbled, and men are brought low--forgive them not!
