A Terrible Day Is Coming

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.
Their land has been filled with silver and gold;
    there are a great many treasures there.
Their land has been filled with horses;
    there are many chariots there.
Their land is full of idols.
    The people worship these idols they made with their own hands
    and shaped with their own fingers.
