Jeremiah 17:1 - 17:4

The Deceitful Heart

The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus;
With a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart
And on the horns of their altars,
2
As they remember their children,
So they remember their altars and their Asherim
By green trees on the high hills.
3
O mountain of Mine in the countryside,
I will give over your wealth and all your treasures for plunder,
Your high places for sin throughout your borders.
4
And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance
That I gave you;
And I will make you serve your enemies
In the land which you do not know,
For you have kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.
