Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 2 of Isaiah. After the vision of peace comes an accusation against Judah’s pride, its trust in wealth, horses, idols, and human alliances. The day of Yahweh will bring down all human greatness. The contrast with the opening verses is deliberate: God’s future kingdom cannot coexist with a community that attributes its security to its own strength.

Aber du hast dein Volk, das Haus Jakob, lassen fahren; denn sie treibens mehr als die gegen den Aufgang und sind Tagewähler wie die Philister und hängen sich an die Kinder der Fremden.
Ciertamente tú has dejado tu pueblo, la casa de Jacob, porque son henchidos de oriente, y de agoreros, como los Filisteos; y en hijos ajenos descansan.
Porque has abandonado a tu pueblo, la casa de Jacob, pues están llenos de prácticas del oriente y de adivinos como los filisteos, y estrechan la mano de los hijos de extranjeros.
Car tu as abandonné ton peuple, la maison de Jacob, Parce qu'ils sont pleins de l'Orient, Et adonnés à la magie comme les Philistins, Et parce qu'ils s'allient aux fils des étrangers.
Perciocchè tu, Signore, hai abbandonato il tuo popolo, la casa di Giacobbe; perchè son pieni d’Oriente, e son pronosticatori come i Filistei; dànno la mano a’ figliuoli de’ forestieri.
Mas tu desamparaste o teu povo, a casa de Jacó, porque se encheram dos costumes do oriente e são agoureiros como os filisteus; e associam-se com os filhos dos estrangeiros,
你離棄了你的百姓 雅各 家, 因為他們充滿了東方的習俗 , 又像 非利士 人一樣觀星象, 並與外邦人擊掌。
