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)

Everyone is brought low

You have abandoned your people,
        house of Jacob.
    They are full of sorcerers from the east and fortune-tellers like the Philistines;
        they hold hands with foreigners’ children.[a]
Their land is full of silver and gold;
    they have countless treasures.
Their land is filled with horses;
    they have countless chariots.
Their land is filled with idols;
    they worship their handiwork,
    what their own fingers have made.

Humanity will be brought down;
    each person laid low—don’t lift them up![b]
