1. “The sin of Judahis inscribed with an iron chisel—engraved with a diamond point on their stony heartsand on the corners of their altars.
2. Even their children go to worshipat their pagan altars and Asherah poles,beneath every green treeand on every high hill.
3. So I will hand over my holy mountain—along with all your wealth and treasuresand your pagan shrines—as plunder to your enemies,for sin runs rampant in your land.
4. The wonderful possession I have reserved for youwill slip from your hands.I will tell your enemies to take youas captives to a foreign land.For my anger blazes like a firethat will burn forever.”
