Jeremiah 17:2-4
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 When their children shall remember their altars, and their groves, and their green trees upon the high mountains,
3 Sacrificing in the field: I will give thy strength, and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
4 And thou shalt be left stripped of thy inheritance, which I gave thee: and I will make thee serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not: because thou hast kindled a fire in my wrath, it shall burn for ever.

Jeremiah 17:2-4
New International Version
2 Even their children remember
their altars and Asherah poles[a](A)
beside the spreading trees
and on the high hills.(B)
3 My mountain in the land
and your[b] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(C)
together with your high places,(D)
because of sin throughout your country.(E)
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(F) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(G)
in a land(H) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(I) forever.”
