1. Judah’s sin is engravedwith an iron pen.It’s etched with a diamond pointon the tablets of their heartsand on the horns of their altars.
2. Their children remember their altars and sacred polesby the lush trees and high hills.
3. Because you have committed such sins throughout your country,I will give to your enemiesmy mountain in the land,as well as your wealth and all that you treasure.
4. You will lose the inheritance that I gave you.I will make you slaves of your enemiesin a land you don’t know,for my anger blazes like a firethat won’t go out.
5. The Lord proclaims:Cursed are those who trust in mere humans,who depend on human strengthand turn their hearts from the Lord.
