Jeremiah 17:1-4
Lexham English Bible
The Sin of Judah
17 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus,
with a point of diamond it is engraved
on the tablet of their heart,
and on the horns of their altars.
2 As the remembering of their children,
so is the remembering of their altars
and their poles of Asherah worship
beside the leafy trees[a] on the high hills.
3 O my mountain in the open country,
I will give your wealth, all your treasures, for spoil,
your high places, because of your sin,
throughout all your territories.
4 And you will let go your hand from your inheritance[b]
that I gave to you,
and I will make you serve your enemies
in the land that you do not know,
for you kindled a fire in my anger,
until eternity it will be kindled.”

Judah’s Sin and Its Consequence
17 The sin of Judah is engraved
with an iron stylus.
It is inscribed with a diamond point
on the tablet of their heart
and on the horns of their[a] altars.
2 When their sons remember,
they remember their altars[b] and their Asherah poles[c]
beside green trees on the high hills.
3 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.
4 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.
