Isaiah 2:6 Context
4And hee shall iudge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beate their swords into plow-shares, and their speares into pruning hookes: nation shall not lift vp sword against nation, neither shall they learne warre any more. 5O house of Iacob, come yee, and let vs walke in the light of the Lord. 6¶ Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Iacob; because they be replenished from the East, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselues in the children of strangers. 7Their land also is full of siluer and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures: their land is also full of horses; neither is there any end of their charets. 8Their land also is full of idoles: they worship the worke of their owne hands, that which their owne fingers haue made.
