Isaiah 2:6-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 For You have abandoned(A) Your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers(B) like the Philistines.(C)
They are in league[a] with foreigners.
7 Their[b][c] 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.(D)
8 Their land is full of idols;(E)
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their fingers have made.(F)
9 So humanity is brought low,
and man is humbled.
Do not forgive them!(G)

Isaiah 2:6-9
Common English Bible
Everyone is brought low
6 You have abandoned your people,
house of Jacob.
They are full of sorcerers from the east and fortune-tellers like the Philistines;
they hold hands with foreigners’ children.[a]
7 Their land is full of silver and gold;
they have countless treasures.
Their land is filled with horses;
they have countless chariots.
8 Their land is filled with idols;
they worship their handiwork,
what their own fingers have made.
9 Humanity will be brought down;
each person laid low—don’t lift them up![b]
