Because you have committed such sins throughout your country,
    I will give to your enemies
        my mountain in the land,
        as well as your wealth and all that you treasure.[a]
You will lose the inheritance that I gave you.
    I will make you slaves of your enemies
        in a land you don’t know,
            for my anger blazes like a fire
            that won’t go out.

The Lord proclaims:
Cursed are those who trust in mere humans,
    who depend on human strength
    and turn their hearts from the Lord.

My mountain in the land
    and your[a] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(A)
    together with your high places,(B)

Through your own fault you will lose
    the inheritance(D) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(E)
    in a land(F) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
    and it will burn(G) forever.”

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(H)
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(I)
