Context — The Day of Reckoning
5Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
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.

Isaiah 2:7 Summary
Isaiah 2:7 describes a nation that has become very wealthy and powerful, with lots of silver, gold, horses, and chariots. However, this wealth has not brought them closer to God, but rather led them further away, as they trust in their riches and military strength instead of in Him, as warned against in Psalm 52:7 and Jeremiah 9:23. This verse encourages us to reflect on what we truly trust in and to remember that our security and hope come from God, not from earthly possessions or power, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 17:7. By trusting in God, we can find true peace and security, as promised in Isaiah 26:3-4.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the abundance of silver, gold, horses, and chariots in Isaiah 2:7?
The abundance of silver, gold, horses, and chariots in Isaiah 2:7 signifies the wealth and military strength of the nation, but also highlights their misplaced trust in material possessions and military power, rather than in God, as seen in Psalm 20:7 and Isaiah 31:1.
How does this verse relate to the previous verse, which mentions the house of Jacob being filled with influences from the east?
The wealth and treasures mentioned in Isaiah 2:7 are likely a result of the house of Jacob's involvement with foreign influences and idolatrous practices, as warned against in Deuteronomy 7:1-6 and 2 Kings 13:6.
What is the spiritual implication of a land being 'full of silver and gold'?
A land being 'full of silver and gold' can symbolize a people's heart being consumed by materialism and greed, as seen in 1 Timothy 6:10, leading them away from a genuine relationship with God and towards idolatry, as mentioned in Isaiah 2:8.
How does this verse fit into the larger context of Isaiah's message?
Isaiah 2:7 is part of a larger oracle of judgment, calling the people of Judah to repentance and warning them of the consequences of their sin, as seen in Isaiah 1:1-31 and Isaiah 3:1-26, emphasizing the need for humility and trust in God, as expressed in Isaiah 2:5 and Micah 6:8.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'treasures' in my own life that I tend to trust in, rather than God?
- How can I balance the pursuit of earthly provision with a reliance on God's provision, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34?
- What are some ways in which I may be 'bowing down' to the 'work of my hands' or the 'work of my fingers', as mentioned in Isaiah 2:8?
- In what ways can I simplify my life and focus on what is truly important, as encouraged in Matthew 6:19-21 and 1 Timothy 6:6-10?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 2:7
Neither is there any end of their treasures; they have heaped up riches immoderately, and by wicked practices; they are never satisfied, but still greedily pursuing after more and more wealth, making this their chief business and joy. Their land also is full of horses; which even their king was forbidden to multiply, , much more his subjects.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 2:7
Isaiah 2:7 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:Ver. 7. Their land also is full of silver.] They had forsaken the fountain of living waters, and now they hew them out broken cisterns; they have made their gold their god, which is a more subtle kind of idolatry, dum sibi ipsis numen quoddam larariura constant. But though their houses were full of silver and gold, their hearts were not; for they were vexed with the curse of dissatisfaction. “ Auri nempe fames parto fit maior ab auro. ” - Prudentius. Neither is there any end of their treasures.] Josephus saith that there was a world of money found at Jerusalem when taken by the Romans; so there was at Constantinople when taken by the Turks; and therefore taken, because the inhabitants could not find in their hearts to part with it, though for their own defence. Their land also is full of horses.] And their hearts of creature confidence, - trust in the arm of flesh; as Josephus testifieth that the Jews were this way very faulty about the time of the last devastation.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 2:7
(7) Their land also is full of silver and gold.—The long and prosperous reign of Uzziah, especially his trade with Ophir, had reproduced the wealth of the days of Solomon. Tribute came from the Arabians and Ammonites (2 Chronicles 26:8). The words point to an earlier date than that at which Ahaz was left” naked and distressed” (2 Chronicles 28:19). Even under Hezekiah, Sennacherib records in the inscription on the Taylor cylinder that the tribute paid by that king amounted to 30 talents of gold, and 800 talents of silver, besides wrought metal; and a like profusion of wealth, prior to Sennacherib’s invasion, is shown in the account of Hezekiah’s display of his treasures, in Isaiah 39:2 (Cheyne, in loc.; Records of the Past, i. 38). Their land is also full of . . . chariots.—Here also the reign of Uzziah was like that of Solomon (1 Kings 10:26-28). Chariots were used probably both for state pageants (Son 1:9; Son 3:9-10) and as part of the matériel of war (2 Chronicles 1:14; 2 Chronicles 9:25). Isaiah here also agrees with Micah (Micah 1:13) in looking on this as “the beginning of sin” (see Deuteronomy 17:16; 1 Samuel 8:11). For him, as for Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9), the true King was to come, not with chariots and horses, but riding, as the judges of Israel had ridden (Judges 5:10; Judges 10:4; Judges 12:14), on “a colt, the foal of an ass.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 2:7
Verse 7. Their land is also full of horses - "And his land is filled with horses"] This was in direct contradiction to God's command in the law: "But he (the king) shall not multiply horses to himself; nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold," Deuteronomy 17:16-17. Uzziah seems to have followed the example of Solomon, see 1Kg 10:26-29, who first transgressed in these particulars; he recovered the port of Elath on the Red Sea, and with it that commerce which in Solomon's days had "made silver and gold as plenteous at Jerusalem as stones," 2 Chronicles 1:15. He had an army of 307,500 men, in which, as we may infer from the testimony of Isaiah, the chariots and horse made a considerable part. "The law above mentioned was to be a standing trial of prince and people, whether they had trust and confidence in God their deliverer." See Bp. Sherlock's Discourses on Prophecy. Dissert. iv., where he has excellently explained the reason and effect of the law, and the influence which the observance or neglect of it had on the affairs of the Israelites.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 2:7
7. Their land also is full …] Lit. and its (the people’s) land has become filled (and so throughout Isaiah 2:7-8). silver and gold … treasures] The wealth of the country had increased enormously through commercial activity and the control of the Red Sea traffic (2 Kings 14:22) in the reigns of Uzziah and Jotham. These “treasures” were partly expended in procuring “horses and chariots,” as in the time of Solomon. The prophets condemn all such accumulation of earthly resources, as tending to lead the nation away from reliance on the help of Jehovah. Cf. Deuteronomy 17:16-17; Deuteronomy 20:1; Isaiah 31:1; Micah 5:10; Zechariah 9:10.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 2:7
Their land also is full of silver and gold - This “gold” was brought chiefly from Ophir.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 2:7
7. Another effect of the intercourse with foreign peoples which the prophet inveighed against, was foreign money and foreign troops.
