Isaiah 2:6-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Judgment Pronounced on Arrogance
6 You have forsaken your people,
the house of Jacob,
for they are full of diviners[a] from the East
and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
and they clasp hands with foreigners.(A)
7 Their land is filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.(B)
8 Their land is filled with idols;
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.(C)
9 And so people are humbled,
and everyone is brought low—
[[do not forgive them!(D)

Evangelical Heritage Version
The Glory of the Lord Comes in Judgment
6 But you, Lord, have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob,
because they are filled up with practices from the East
and with fortune tellers like the Philistines,
and they join themselves to the heathen.[a]
7 Their land is full of silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures.
Their land is also full of horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is full of gods that are not gods.[b]
They worship the work made by their own hands,
things that their own fingers have made.
9 Mankind is humbled,
and man is brought low.
Do not forgive them.
