Somehow Familiar

In my scripture reading this morning, I came across several verses quoted from Isaiah. As I understand it, they are not only a reflection of the state of things in his time, but a prophecy of a time and place far in Isaiah’s future. They sounded eerily familiar:

Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and hearken unto soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
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.
Their land is also full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth himself not, therefore, forgive him not. (2 Nephi 12:6-9)


Wait, wait, I know this one....
