Isaiah 2:7
ESV Their land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; their land is filled with horses, and there is no end to their chariots.

NASB Their land has also been filled with silver and gold And there is no end to their treasures; Their land has also been filled with horses, And there is no end to their chariots.
CSB Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, and there is no limit to their chariots.
NLT Israel is full of silver and gold; there is no end to its treasures. Their land is full of warhorses; there is no end to its chariots.
KJV Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

What does Isaiah 2:7 mean?

Isaiah has said that God has rejected His people (Isaiah 2:6). This does not mean they are completely set aside. Rather, it means God will refrain from protecting them, or blessing them. They will be subject to the consequences of their choices. Instead of living in His light, they are guilty of seeking light from the false gods of neighboring peoples, including consulting fortune tellers who made use of evil spirits or demons.

Now Isaiah adds that despite their actions, the people of Judah are enormously wealthy in silver, gold, and treasures. They have acres of horses and endless chariots ready for war. The implication may be that the people of Israel believe their wealth has been provided by the false gods instead of by the Lord. In any case, they refuse to see the depth of their spiritual poverty while living with exceptional material wealth. Scripture acknowledges that sin can be profitable, in the short term (Psalm 73:2–3; Proverbs 11:4). Eventually, it is not worth the cost (Mark 8:36).
