1 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool,

inscribed with a flint point,

on the tablets of their hearts

and on the horns of their altars.

their altars and Asherah poles

beside the spreading trees

and on the high hills.

1 “The sin of Judah

is inscribed with an iron chisel—

engraved with a diamond point on their stony hearts

and on the corners of their altars.

2 Even their children go to worship

at their pagan altars and Asherah poles,

beneath every green tree

and on every high hill.

1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron;

With the point of a diamond it is engraved

On the tablet of their heart,

And on the horns of your altars,

2 While their children remember

Their altars and their wooden images

By the green trees on the high hills.

1 “The sin of the people of Judah is written with an iron tool.

Their sins were cut with a hard point into the stone that is their hearts.

Their sins were cut into the corners of their altars.

2 Even their children remember

their altars to idols and their Asherah idols

beside the green trees

and on the high hills.

1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.

1 The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.

1 ⸤The Lord says,⸥ “Judah’s sin is written with an iron pen. 

It is engraved with a diamond point 

on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of their altars. 

2 Even their children remember their altars 

and their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah 

beside large trees on high hills 

1 The sin of Judah is written

with an iron stylus.

With a diamond point

it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts

and on the horns of their altars,

2 while their children remember their altars

and their Asherah poles, by the green trees

on the high hills —

1 The sin of Judah is written with an iron pen; with a diamond point it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts, and on the horns of their altars, 2 while their children remember their altars and their sacred poles, beside every green tree, and on the high hills,

1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus,

2 As the remembering of their children,

so is the remembering of their altars

and their poles of Asherah worship

beside the leafy trees on the high hills.

1 “Judah’s sin is carved with an iron tool. It is written with a sharp stone.

It is carved on the tablets of their hearts.

It is written on the horns that stick out

from the corners of their altars.

2 Even their children offer sacrifices

to other gods on those altars.

They use the poles that were made

to worship the goddess Asherah.

They worship strange gods beside the green trees

and on the high hills.

1 The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus;

With a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart

And on the horns of their altars,

2 As they remember their children,

So they remember their altars and their Asherim

By green trees on the high hills.
