Jeremiah 17:1-6

1The 1sinH2403 of JudahH3063 is writtenH3789 downH3789 with an 2ironH1270 stylusH5842; With a diamondH8068 pointH6856 it is 3engravedH2790 upon the tabletH3871 of their heartH3820 And on the hornsH7161 of 4their altarsH4196,2As they rememberH2142 their 5childrenH1121, So they remember their altarsH4196 and their 67AsherimH842 By 8greenH7488 treesH6086 on the highH1364 hillsH1389.3O 9mountainH2022 of Mine in the countrysideH7704, I will 10giveH5414 over your wealthH2428 and allH3605 your treasuresH214 for bootyH957, Your highH1116 placesH1116 for sinH2403 throughoutH3605 your bordersH1366.4And you will, even of yourself, 11letH8058 goH8058 of your inheritanceH5159 That I gaveH5414 you; And I will make you serveH5647 your 12enemiesH340 In the 13landH776 whichH834 you do not knowH3045; For you have 14kindledH6919 a fireH784 in My angerH639 Which will burnH3344 foreverH5704H5769.

5ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “15CursedH779 is the manH1397 whoH834 trustsH982 in mankindH120 And makesH7760 16fleshH1320 his 17strengthH2220, And whose heartH3820 turnsH5493 awayH5493 from the LordH3068.6For he will be like a 18bushH6176 in the desertH6160 And will not seeH7200 whenH3588 prosperityH2896 comesH935, But will liveH7931 in stonyH2788 wastesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, A 19landH776 of saltH4420 20withoutH3808 inhabitantH3427.
