Jeremiah 17:2-4
Wycliffe Bible
2 When the sons of them bethink on their altars, and [maumet] woods, and on the trees full of boughs, (While their sons and daughters worship at their altars, and in their sacred woods, by the trees full of branches, in the high mountains,)
3 making sacrifice in the field in high mountains, I shall give thy strength and all thy treasures into ravishing, thine high things for sins in all thine ends. (and make sacrifice in the fields, I shall give thy wealth and all thy treasures to robbing, or for spoils, and thy high places, or thy hill shrines, for more sins, in all thy terms, or in all thy land.)
4 And thou shalt be left alone from thine heritage which I gave to thee (And thou shalt be taken away from thy inheritance which I gave thee); and I shall make thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; for thou hast kindled (a) fire in my strong vengeance, it shall burn till into without end.

Jeremiah 17:2-4
New International Version
2 Even their children remember
their altars and Asherah poles[a](A)
beside the spreading trees
and on the high hills.(B)
3 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)
4 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.”
