For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are filled with practices learned[a] from the East
and they are fortune-tellers like the Philistines.
They cut deals[b] with foreigners.[c]
Their land is filled with silver and gold,

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.
