Jeremiah 17:2-4

New Living Translation

² Even their children go to worship
    at their pagan altars and Asherah poles,
beneath every green tree
    and on every high hill.
³ So I will hand over my holy mountain—
    along with all your wealth and treasures
    and your pagan shrines—
as plunder to your enemies,
    for sin runs rampant in your land.
⁴ The wonderful possession I have reserved for you
    will slip from your hands.
I will tell your enemies to take you
    as captives to a foreign land.
For my anger blazes like a fire
    that will burn forever.”
