1 The sin of Judah is written with an iron penand with a diamond point;it is engraved on the tablet of their heartand on the horns of their altars;
2 as they remember their children,so they remember their altarsand their groves by the green treeson the high hills.
3 O My mountain in the field,I will give your wealthand all your treasures to the destroyer,and your high placesfor sin throughout all your borders.
4 You, even yourself, will discontinuefrom your heritage that I gave you;and I will cause you to serve your enemiesin the land which you do not know;for you have kindled a fire in My angerwhich will burn forever.
5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in manand makes flesh his strength,and whose heart departs from the Lord.
6 For he will be like a bush in the desertand will not see when good comes,but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,and whose hope is the Lord.
