They stretch out beside every altar
on garments taken as collateral,
and in the house of their God,
they drink wine obtained through fines.

The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:

Look, the days are coming
when you will be taken away with hooks,
every last one of you with fishhooks.

For I know your crimes are many
and your sins innumerable.
They oppress the righteous, take a bribe,
and deprive the poor of justice at the gates.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.

But you have taken up Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, images you have made for yourselves.

If they dig down to Sheol,
from there My hand will take them;
if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
