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.

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]
