For thou hast rejected thy people,
    the house of Jacob,
because they are full of diviners[a] from the east
    and of soothsayers like the Philistines,
    and they strike hands with foreigners.
Their land is filled with silver and gold,
    and there is no end to their treasures;

Their land is filled with idols;
    they bow down to the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.
