Jeremiah 17:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² One generation after another
    has set up pagan altars
and worshiped the goddess Asherah
everywhere in your country—
    on hills and mountains,
    and under large trees.
³ So I'll take everything you own,
    including your altars,
and give it all
    to your enemies.^[a]
4 You will lose^[b] the land
    that I gave you,
and I will make you slaves
    in a foreign country,
because you have made my anger
blaze up like a fire
    that won't stop burning.
