For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob,
    because they are filled from the east,
    with those who practice divination like the Philistines,
    and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
Their land is full of silver and gold,
    neither is there any end of their treasures.
Their land also is full of horses,
    neither is there any end of their chariots.
Their land also is full of idols.
    They worship the work of their own hands,
    that which their own fingers have made.
Man is brought low,
    and mankind is humbled;
    therefore don’t 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)
