Jeremiah 17:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

17 “The sins of Judah are written where they cannot be erased—
    cut into stone with an iron pen,
cut deep with a hard tip into the stone that is the hearts of the people.
    Their sins are carved into the horns of their altars.^[a]
2 Their children remember the altars
    that were dedicated to false gods.
They remember the wooden poles
    that were dedicated to Asherah.
They remember those things
    under the green trees and on the hills.
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.
