Jeremiah 17:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ They remember those things
    on the mountains in the open country.
The people of Judah have many treasures.
    I will give those things to other people.
People will destroy all the high places in your country.
    You worshiped there, and that was a sin.
⁴ You will lose the land I gave you.
    I will let your enemies take you to be their slaves.
That is because I am very angry.
    My anger is like a hot fire, and you will be burned forever.”

⁵ This is what the Lord says:
“Bad things will happen to those who put their trust in people.
    Bad things will happen to those who depend on human strength.
    That is because they have stopped trusting the Lord.
