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!

For You have (A)abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with influences from the east,
And they are soothsayers (B)like the Philistines.
They also [a](C)strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
Their land has also been filled with silver and gold
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land has also been filled with (D)horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
Their land has also been (E)filled with idols;
They worship the (F)work of their hands,
That which their fingers have made.
So (G)the common person has been humbled
And the person of importance has been brought low,
But (H)do not forgive them.
