5 O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord; yea, come, for ye have all agone astray, every one to his bwicked ways.
When I looked at the footnote for the word wicked in verse 5 it said, "turned to his own ways". That is how Satan became the Father to all iniquity. Our Heavenly Father had a plan for us that included growth and Satan wanted a different plan to made him look good but there would be no growth.
Who's plan are you following? The Lord's or are you trying to do your own thing? Remember the Lord's plan gives us the ability to gain power like He has.
6 Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and hearken unto asoothsayers like the bPhilistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their atreasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
8 Their land is also full of aidols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 And the mean man aboweth bnot down, and the great man humbleth himself not, therefore, forgive him not.
The wicked people may have lots of money and they spend their time worshiping idols or being idol (valuing something over God, wasting time). But where will the money and idols get them?? Read on:
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and the aglory of his majesty shall smite them, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
No where. The money and Idols are worth nothing to God. When He comes, those things will be worth nothing. I am going to repeat verse 5 but this time focus on the beginning of the verse instead of the ending:
5 O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord; yea, come, for ye have all agone astray, every one to his bwicked ways.
"walk in the light of the Lord". When we bury ourselves in idolatry and money, we cannot see the big picture. When we allign our will with God we can see, we walk into the light and suddenly things worldly accomplishments (like being rich) won't matter, and we will see a much happier path to pursue.

P.S. I am tired. I feel like this post could have been much better if I didn't wait until the last minute to read my scriptures.
P.S.S. I like him.
