The Day of the Lord

For you have rejected your people,
    the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things (A)from the east
    and (B)of fortune-tellers (C)like the Philistines,
    and they (D)strike hands with the children of foreigners.
Their land is (E)filled with silver and gold,
    and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is (F)filled with horses,
    and there is no end to their chariots.
Their land is (G)filled with idols;
    they bow down to (H)the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.
So man (I)is humbled,
    and each one (J)is brought low—
    do not forgive them!

For you have abandoned(A) your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers(B) like the Philistines.(C)
They are in league[a] with foreigners.
Their[b][c] 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.(D)
Their land is full of worthless idols;(E)
they worship the work of their hands,
what their fingers have made.(F)
So humanity is brought low,
and each person is humbled.
Do not forgive them!(G)
