Their land also is full of silver and gold
Procured by pardons, indulgences, masses, praying souls out of purgatory, tithes, annates, Peter's pence

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 ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

6 For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.

7 Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.

8 And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.

9 And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
