Judgment Pronounced on Arrogance

You have forsaken your people,
    the house of Jacob,
for they are full of diviners[a] from the East
    and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
    and they clasp hands with foreigners.(A)
Their land is filled with silver and gold,
    and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is filled with horses,
    and there is no end to their chariots.(B)
Their land is filled with idols;
    they bow down to the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.(C)
And so people are humbled,
    and everyone is brought low—
    [[do not forgive them!(D)

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!
