Judah’s Sin and Punishment
With the point of a diamond it is cengraved
On the tablet of their heart,
And on the horns of your altars,
Their altars and their awooden images
By the green trees on the high hills.
I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders.
Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you;
And I will cause you to serve your enemies
In athe land which you do not know;
For byou have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever.”

Jeremiah 17:1
Graven - Nor is it a thing done in secret, but it is engraven upon the horns of their altars. God's altar was four - square, and at each corner there was a rising part made of brass, these were called the horns of the altar. Now their sin is said to be engraven upon the horns of the altar, because the blood of the sacrifices which they offered to idols was sprinkled there, or because their altars had some inscription upon them, declaring to what idol that altar was consecrated.
