Jeremiah 17:1–2

“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.

Even their children remember

their altars and Asherah poles

beside the spreading trees

and on the high hills.

The sin of Judah is inscribed

with an iron stylus.

With a diamond point

it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts

and on the horns of their altars,

while their children remember their altars

and their Asherah poles, by the green trees

on the high hills—

“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.

Even their children go to worship

at their pagan altars and Asherah poles,

beneath every green tree

and on every high hill.

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

with a point of diamond it is engraved

on the tablet of their heart,

and on the horns of their altars.

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.

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