[a]House of Jacob, come,
    let us walk in the light of the Lord!

The Lord’s Day of Judgment on Pride

You have abandoned your people,
    the house of Jacob!
Because they are filled with diviners,
    and soothsayers, like the Philistines;
    with foreigners they clasp hands.(A)
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.

    and embrace(G) pagan customs.(H)
Their land is full of silver and gold;(I)
    there is no end to their treasures.(J)
Their land is full of horses;(K)
