Isaiah 2:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us [a]walk in the Law of the Lord.
6 Surely thou [b]hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are [c]full of the East manners, and are sorcerers as the Philistines, [d]and abound with strange children.
7 Their land also was full of [e]silver and gold, and there was none end of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their chariots were infinite.
