17 The Lord says, “Judah’s sin is written with an iron pen.
    It is engraved with a diamond point
        on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of their altars.
Even their children remember their altars
    and their poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah
        beside large trees on high hills
            and on mountains in the open country.[a]
    I will turn your wealth and all your treasures into loot.
    I will do this because of your worship sites and your sin
    throughout all your territory.
