6 You, Lord, have abandoned your people,

the descendants of Jacob.

They are full of superstitions from the East;

they practice divination like the Philistines

and embrace pagan customs.

6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,

Because they be replenished from the east,

And are soothsayers like the Philistines,

And they please themselves in the children of strangers.

6 For the Lord has rejected his people,

the descendants of Jacob,

because they have filled their land with practices from the East

and with sorcerers, as the Philistines do.

They have made alliances with pagans.

6 For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,

Because they are filled with eastern ways;

They are soothsayers like the Philistines,

And they are pleased with the children of foreigners.

6 Lord, you have left your people,

the family of Jacob,

because they have become filled with wrong ideas from people in the East.

They try to tell the future like the Philistines,

and they have completely accepted those foreign ideas.

6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

6 For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with what comes from the east, and use auguries like the Philistines, and ally themselves with the children of foreigners.

6 Lord, you have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob, 

because they are filled with Eastern influences. 

They are fortunetellers like the Philistines, 

and they make deals with foreigners. 

6 For You have abandoned Your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of divination from the East

and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines.

They are in league with foreigners.

6 For you have forsaken the ways of your people,

O house of Jacob.

Indeed they are full of diviners from the east

and of soothsayers like the Philistines,

and they clasp hands with foreigners.

6 For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob,

because they are full from the east,

and of soothsayers like the Philistines,

and they make alliances with the offspring of foreigners.

6 Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob.

They are your people.

The land is full of false beliefs from the east.

The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do.

They make ungodly people their friends.

6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob,

Because they are filled with influences from the east,

And they are soothsayers like the Philistines,

And they strike bargains with the children of foreigners.
