Isaiah 2:7 In-Context

5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the Lord's light.

6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of [divination] from the East and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines. They are in league with foreigners.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, and there is 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 humanity is brought low, and man is humbled. Do not forgive them!
