Jeremiah 17:1-6

1The sinH2403 of JudahH3063 is writtenH3789 with a penH5842 of ironH1270, and with the pointH6856 of a diamondH8068: it is graven uponH5921 the table of their heartH3820, and uponH5921 the hornsH7161 of your altarsH4196;

2whilst their childrenH1121 rememberH2142 their altarsH4196 and their AsherimH842 by the greenH7488 treesH6086 uponH5921 the highH1364 hillsH1389.

3O my mountain in the fieldH7704, I will giveH5414 thy substanceH2428 and allH3605 thy treasuresH214 for a spoilH957, and thy highH1116 placesH1116, becauseH3605 of sinH2403, throughoutH3605 allH3605 thy bordersH1366.

4And thou, evenH5704 of thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritageH5159 that I gaveH5414 thee; and I will causeH5414 thee to serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 in the landH776 whichH834 thou knowest notH3808: for ye have kindledH6919 a fireH784 in mine angerH639 whichH834 shall burnH3344 for everH5769.

5ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: CursedH779 is the manH120 that trusteth in manH120, and maketh fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whoseH834 heartH3820 departeth from the LORDH3068.

6For he shall be like the heath in the desertH6160, and shall notH3808 seeH7200 when goodH2896 cometh; but shall inhabitH3427 the parched places in the wildernessH4057, a saltH4420 landH776 and notH3808 inhabitedH3427.
