    inscribed with a flint point,
on the tablets of their hearts
    and on the horns of their altars.
Even their children remember
    their altars and Asherah poles[a]
beside the spreading trees

    and your[b] wealth and all your treasures

    together with your high places,
    because of sin throughout your country.
