Isaiah 2:6-9
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Surely thou [a]hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are [b]full of the East manners, and are sorcerers as the Philistines, [c]and abound with strange children.
7 Their land also was full of [d]silver and gold, and there was none end of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their chariots were infinite.
8 Their land was also full of idols; they worshipped the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 And a man bowed himself, and a man [e]humbled himself: therefore [f]spare them not.
