I will give away my holy Mount Zion to the Babylonians.
    Your enemies will carry off your wealth
    and all your treasures.
I will give away your high places.
    That will happen because you have sinned.
    You have done it throughout your country.
You will lose the land I gave you.
    And it will be your own fault.
I will make you slaves to your enemies.
    You will serve them in a land you didn’t know about before.
You have set my anger on fire.
    It will burn forever.”

The Lord says,

“Those who trust in human beings are under my curse.
    They depend on human strength.
    Their hearts turn away from me.
