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)

  1. Isaiah 2:9 Or not raise them up

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)
