New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your sin^[a] throughout all your territory. ⁴By your own act you shall lose the heritage that I gave you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled^[b] that shall burn for ever.

⁵Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals
and make mere flesh their strength,
whose hearts turn away from the Lord.
