Jeremiah 17:1-3

New International Reader's Version

17 “Judah’s sin is carved with an iron tool.
    It is written with the flint point of the tool.
It is carved on the tablets of their hearts.
    It is written on the horns that stick out
    from the corners of their altars.
² Even their children offer sacrifices
    to other gods on those altars.
They use the poles that were made
    to worship the female god named Asherah.
They worship strange gods beside the green trees
    and on the high hills.
³ I will give away my holy Mount Zion to the Babylonians.
    Your enemies will carry off your wealth
    and all your treasures.
I will give away your high places.
    That will happen because you have sinned.
    You have done it throughout your country.
