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)
