Israel’s Sins

6Lord, 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. 

7Their 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. 

8Their land is filled with idols, 

and they worship what their hands have shaped 

and what their fingers have molded. 

9People will be brought down. Everyone will be humbled. 

Do not forgive them.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For you have rejected your people,

the house of Jacob,

because they are full of things from the east

and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,

and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

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.

Their land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their own fingers have made.

So man is humbled,

and each one is brought low—

do not forgive them!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

Their land is full of silver and gold;

there is no end to their treasures.

Their land is full of horses;

there is no end to their chariots.

Their land is full of idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what their fingers have made.

So people will be brought low

and everyone humbled—

do not forgive them.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

Their 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.

Their land is full of worthless idols;

they worship the work of their hands,

what their fingers have made.

So humanity is brought low,

and each person is humbled.

Do not forgive them!

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

Israel is full of silver and gold;

there is no end to its treasures.

Their land is full of warhorses;

there is no end to its chariots.

Their land is full of idols;

the people worship things they have made

with their own hands.

So now they will be humbled,

and all will be brought low—

do not forgive them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

And its land is filled with silver and gold,

and there is no end to its treasures;

and its land is filled with horses,

and there is no end to its chariots.

Its land is filled with idols;

they bow down to the work of their hands,

to what they made with their fingers.

So humanity is humbled;

everyone is humbled,

and you must not forgive them.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Their land also is full of silver and gold,

Neither is there any end of their treasures;

Their land is also full of horses,

Neither is there any end of their chariots:

Their land also is full of idols;

They worship the work of their own hands,

That which their own fingers have made:

And the mean man boweth down,

And the great man humbleth himself:

Therefore forgive them not.
