The Persistent Sin of Judah

17 The sin of Judah is inscribed
with an iron stylus.(A)
With a diamond point
it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts(B)
and on the horns of their[a] altars,
while their children remember their altars
and their Asherah poles, by the green trees
on the high hills(C)
my mountains in the countryside.
I will give up your wealth
and all your treasures as plunder(D)
because of the sin of your high places[b]
in all your borders.(E)
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,(F)
for you have set my anger on fire;(G)
it will burn forever.
