For You have (A)abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers (B)like the Philistines,
And they (C)strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
Their land has also been filled with silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with (D)horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
Their land has also been (E)filled with idols;
They worship the (F)work of their hands,
That which their fingers have made.
So (G)the common man has been bowed down,
And the man of importance has been made low,
But (H)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 idols;(E)
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their fingers have made.(F)
So humanity is brought low,
and man is humbled.
Do not forgive them!(G)
