while their children remember their altars
and their Asherah poles, by the green trees
on the high hills—
My mountains in the countryside.
I will give up your wealth
and all your treasures as plunder
because of the sin of your high places[a]
in all your borders.(A)
You will, on your own, relinquish your inheritance
that I gave you.
I will make you serve your enemies
in a land you do not know,(B)
for you have set My anger on fire;(C)
it will burn forever.

  1. Jeremiah 17:3 Lit plunder, your high places because of sin

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.”
