Jeremiah 17:1-3

Good News Translation

The Sin and Punishment of Judah

17 The Lord says, “People of Judah, your sin is written with an iron pen; it is engraved on your hearts with a diamond point and carved on the corners of your altars. ² Your people worship at the altars and the symbols that have been set up for the goddess Asherah by every green tree and on the hilltops ³ and on the mountains in the open country. I will have your enemies take away your wealth and your treasures because of all the sins you have committed^[a] throughout your land.
