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.”
