Isaiah 2:6-9

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob.
    They are your people.
The land is full of false beliefs from the east.
    The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do.
    They do what ungodly people do.
⁷ Their land is full of silver and gold.
    There is no end to their treasures.
Their land is full of horses.
    There is no end to their chariots.
⁸ Their land is full of statues of gods.
    Their people bow down to what their own hands have made.
    They bow down to what their fingers have shaped.
⁹ So people will be brought low.
    Everyone will be made humble.
    Do not forgive them.
