Isaiah 2:6-9

The Exalted Mountain of the LORD and the Humbling of Human Pride

The chapter moves from future Zion hope, to a call to walk in the LORD’s light, to Judah’s present corruption, to the day when every proud thing is brought low, idols vanish, and the LORD alone is exalted.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

7Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

8Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

9So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled—do not forgive them!
