For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled (A)with eastern ways;
They are (B)soothsayers like the Philistines,
(C)And they [a]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
(D)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
(E)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

The Day of the Lord

You, Lord, have abandoned(A) your people,
    the descendants of Jacob.(B)
They are full of superstitions from the East;
    they practice divination(C) like the Philistines(D)
    and embrace(E) pagan customs.(F)
Their land is full of silver and gold;(G)
    there is no end to their treasures.(H)
Their land is full of horses;(I)
    there is no end to their chariots.(J)
Their land is full of idols;(K)
    they bow down(L) to the work of their hands,(M)
    to what their fingers(N) have made.
So people will be brought low(O)
    and everyone humbled(P)
    do not forgive them.[a](Q)
