Even their children remember their altars and their wooden female goddesses of Asherah by green trees and on the high hills. O My mountain in the country, I will give your money and all your riches to those who fight against you. I will give your high places as the price of your sin through all your land.

Even their children remember
    their altars and Asherah poles[a](A)
beside the spreading trees
    and on the high hills.(B)
My mountain in the land
    and your[b] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(C)
    together with your high places,(D)
    because of sin throughout your country.(E)
Through your own fault you will lose
    the inheritance(F) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(G)
    in a land(H) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
    and it will burn(I) forever.”
