Isaiah 2:7 In-Context

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

6 For you have rejected your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of things from the east and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of 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 each one is brought low—do not forgive them!
