17 “Judah’s sin is carved with an iron tool.
    It is written with the flint point of the tool.
It is carved on the tablets of their hearts.
    It is written on the horns that stick out
    from the corners of their altars.
Even their children offer sacrifices
    to other gods on those altars.
They use the poles that were made
    to worship the female god named Asherah.
They worship strange gods beside the green trees
    and on the high hills.
