Jeremiah 17:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Even their children always think about their altars
    where they worship false gods.
They have put up their Asherah poles
    under the big trees and on the high hills.
³ They also worship their false gods
    on the mountains and in the fields.
So I will cause enemies to take all your valuable things.
    They will take your riches for themselves.
That will be the price that you pay for your sins.
    You have done evil things everywhere in the land.
⁴ I gave you this land to be your home for ever.
    But it will no longer belong to you.
Your enemies will take you to a land that you do not know.
    You will be their slaves.
You have made me very angry,
    like a fire that nobody can stop.’
