    so they remember their altars
and their groves by the green trees
    on the high hills.
O My mountain in the field,
    I will give your wealth
and all your treasures to the destroyer,
    and your high places
    for sin throughout all your borders.
You, even yourself, will discontinue
    from your heritage that I gave you;
and I will cause you to serve your enemies
    in the land which you do not know;
for you have kindled a fire in My anger
    which will burn forever.

Even their children remember
    their altars and Asherah poles[a](A)
beside the spreading trees
    and on the high hills.(B)
My mountain in the land
    and your[b] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(C)
    together with your high places,(D)
    because of sin throughout your country.(E)
Through your own fault you will lose
    the inheritance(F) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(G)
    in a land(H) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
    and it will burn(I) forever.”
