Chapter 17

Judah Punished for Its Idolatry

[a]The sin of Judah is written
    with an iron stylus,
engraved with a diamond point
    on the tablet of their hearts
    and on the horns of their altars,
while their children remember
    their altars and their sacred poles
beside every green tree
    and on the high hills,
    the mountains in the open country.
Your wealth and all your treasures
    I will hand over as spoil
in repayment for all your sins
    throughout your territory.
