Judah’s Sin and Punishment
“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,
“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,
The Deceitful Heart
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,
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,
As they remember their children,
So they remember their altars and their Asherim
By green trees on the high hills.
So they remember their altars and their Asherim
By green trees on the high hills.

Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you;

In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever.”

That I gave you;

In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.

But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.

A land of salt without inhabitant.

And will not fear when the heat comes;

And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.
