Isaiah 2:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 People of Israel, let's live
by the light of the Lord.
Following Sinful Customs
6 Our Lord, you have deserted
your people, Israel,
because they follow customs
of nations from the east.
They worship Philistine gods
and are close friends
of foreigners.[a]
7 They have endless treasures
of silver and gold;
they have countless horses
and war chariots.
