* "
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron ;
with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart ,
and on the horns of their altars ,
*
while their children remember their altars and their Ashe '
rim ,
beside every green tree ,
and on the high hills ,
*
on the mountains in the open country .
Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your sin throughout all your territory .
*
You shall loosen your hand from your heritage which I gave to you ,
and I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know ,
for in my anger a fire is kindled which shall burn for ever ."
*
Thus says the LORD : "
Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm ,
whose heart turns away from the LORD .
*
He is like a shrub in the desert ,
and shall not see any good come .
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness ,
in an uninhabited salt land .
