Judgment Pronounced on Arrogance
6 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)
7 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)
8 Their land is filled with idols;
they bow down to the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.(C)
