When their sons remember,
    they remember their altars[a] and their Asherah poles[b]
        beside green trees on the high hills.
My mountain in the field, your wealth and your treasures
    I’ll give as spoil;
along with your high places as the price of your sin
    throughout your territory.
You will let go of your inheritance
    which I gave you,
and I’ll make you serve your enemies
    in a land that you don’t know.
For with my anger you have started a fire
    that will burn forever.
