Jeremiah 17:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² while their children remember their altars and their sacred poles,^[a] beside every green tree, and on the high hills, ³ on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your sin^[b] throughout all your territory. ⁴ By your own act you shall lose the heritage that I gave you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled^[c] that shall burn forever.
