Isaiah 2:6-9
Expanded Bible
A Terrible Day Is Coming
6 Lord, you have ·left [abandoned; rejected] your people,
the ·family [descendants; L house] of Jacob,
because they have become filled ·with wrong ideas from people in the East [or with superstitions from the East; L from the East].
They ·try to tell the future [consult soothsayers; practice divination] like the Philistines [Lev. 19:26; Deut. 18:9–14],
and ·they have completely accepted those foreign ideas [or they clasp hands/make alliances with foreigners; or the children of foreigners are everywhere].
7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold;
there ·are a great many [L is no end/limit to their] treasures there.
Their land has been filled with horses;
there ·are many [L is no end/limit to their] chariots there [C Israel was to rely on God, not on horses and chariots; Deut. 17:16–17].
8 Their land is full of idols.
The people worship ·these idols they made with [L the work of] their own hands
and shaped with their own fingers [Rom. 1:23].
9 People will ·be humbled [be brought low; or bow down to worship]
and will bow low ·with shame [or in worship].
God, do not ·forgive [spare; L lift] them.
Isaiah 2:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 For You have (A)abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers (B)like the Philistines.
They also [a](C)strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with (D)horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land has also been (E)filled with idols;
They worship the (F)work of their hands,
That which their fingers have made.
9 So (G)the common person has been humbled
And the person of importance has been brought low,
But (H)do not forgive them.
