Judah’s Sin and Punishment
1 “The sin of Judah is awritten with a bpen of iron;
With the point of a diamond it is cengraved
On the tablet of their heart,
And on the horns of your altars,
With the point of a diamond it is cengraved
On the tablet of their heart,
And on the horns of your altars,
2 While their children remember
Their altars and their awooden images
By the green trees on the high hills.
Their altars and their awooden images
By the green trees on the high hills.
3 O My mountain in the field,
I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders.
I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures,
And your high places of sin within all your borders.
4 And you, even yourself,
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.”
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.”
5 Thus says the Lord:
a“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes bflesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
a“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes bflesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
6 For he shall be alike a shrub in the desert,
And bshall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited.
And bshall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
cIn a salt land which is not inhabited.
