Isaiah 2:7

7 The land is filled with silver and gold, and none end is of the treasures thereof; and the land thereof is filled with horses, and the four-horsed carts thereof be unnumberable. (The land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to its treasures; and the land is filled with horses, and its chariots be innumerable.)

Isaiah 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:7

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 Come ye, the house of Jacob, and go we in the light of the Lord.
6 Forsooth thou hast cast away thy people, the house of Jacob, for they be filled as sometime before; and they had false diviners by the chittering of birds, as (the) Philistines, and they cleaved to alien children (and they married foreigners, or strangers).
7 The land is filled with silver and gold, and none end is of the treasures thereof; and the land thereof is filled with horses, and the four-horsed carts thereof be unnumberable. (The land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to its treasures; and the land is filled with horses, and its chariots be innumerable.)
8 And the land thereof is filled with idols, and they worship the work of their hands, which their fingers made;
9 and a man bowed himself, and a man of full age was made low. Therefore forgive thou not to them. (yea, people bowed before them, even mature people made themselves low. And so do not thou forgive them.)
