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 forsaken Thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are replenished from the East, and are soothsayers like the Philistines; and they please themselves with the children of strangers.

7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.

8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

9 And the lowly man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself; therefore forgive them not.
