Thematic Bible: Foretells punishment of the jews for idolatry, and reproves self-confidence and distrust of God

For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And are sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands. And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots, And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made, read more.

For a day is to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one, And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan, And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights, And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall, And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures. And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day. And the idols -- they completely pass away. And men have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth. In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
