Jeremiah 17:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Their children remember the altars
    that were dedicated to false gods.
They remember the wooden poles
    that were dedicated to Asherah.
They remember those things
    under the green trees and on the hills.
³ They remember those things
    on the mountains in the open country.
The people of Judah have many treasures.
    I will give those things to other people.
People will destroy all the high places in your country.
    You worshiped there, and that was a sin.
⁴ You will lose the land I gave you.
    I will let your enemies take you to be their slaves.
That is because I am very angry.
    My anger is like a hot fire, and you will be burned forever.”
