Jeremiah 17:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Even their children offer sacrifices
    to other gods on those altars.
They use the poles that were made
    to worship the female god named Asherah.
They worship strange gods beside the green trees
    and on the high hills.
³ I will give away my holy Mount Zion to the Babylonians.
    Your enemies will carry off your wealth
    and all your treasures.
I will give away your high places.
    That will happen because you have sinned.
    You have done it throughout your country.
⁴ You will lose the land I gave you.
    And it will be your own fault.
I will make you slaves to your enemies.
    You will serve them in a land you didn’t know about before.
You have set my anger on fire.
    It will burn forever.”
