17The sin of Judah is engraved with an iron stylus. It is inscribed with a diamond point on the tablet of their heart and on the horns of their altars.H2403H3063H3789H5842H1270H6856H8068H2790H3871H3820H7161H41962When their sons remember, they remember their altars and their Asherah poles beside green trees on the high hills.H1121H2142H4196H842H7488H6086H1364H13893My mountain in the field, your wealth and your treasures I'll give as spoil; along with your high places as the price of your sin throughout your territory.H2042H7704H5414H2428H214H957H1116H2403H13664You will let go of your inheritance which I gave you, and I'll make you serve your enemies in a land that you don't know. For with my anger you have started a fire that will burn forever.H8058H5159H5414H5647H341H776H3045H6919H784H639H3344H5704H57695This is what the Lord says: "Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind, who makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.H559H3068H779H1397H982H120H7760H1320H2220H3820H5493H30686He will be like a bush in the desert, and he won't see when good comes. He will dwell in parched places in the wilderness, a land of salt, without inhabitants.H6199H6160H7200H2896H935H7931H2788H4057H4420H776H34277Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord, making the Lord his trust.H1288H1397H982H3068H4009H30688He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by a stream. He won't fear when the heat comes, and his leaves will be green. In a year of drought he won't be concerned, nor will he stop producing fruit."H6086H8362H4325H7971H8328H3105H7200H2527H935H5929H7488H1672H8141H1226H4185H6213H65299"The heart is more deceitful than anything. It is incurable?who can know it -H3820H6121H605H304510I am the Lord who searches the heart, who tests the inner depths to give to each person according to what he deserves, according to the fruit of his deeds.H3068H2713H3820H974H3629H5414H376H1870H6529H461111As a partridge gathers together eggs that it didn't lay, so is a person who amasses wealth unjustly. In the middle of his life it will leave him, and in the end he will prove to be a fool.H7124H1716H3205H6213H6239H4941H5800H2677H3117H319H503612A glorious throne exalted from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.H3519H4791H3678H7223H4725H472013Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame.

You know what comes out from my lips, it's open before you.H213H7462H310H183H605H3117H3045H4161H8193H5227H644017Don't be a terror to me. You are my refuge in a day of trouble.H4288H4268H3117H745118Let those who pursue me be put to shame, but don't put me to shame. Let them be terrified, but don't let me be terrified. Bring the day of judgment on them, and destroy them with double destruction!H954H7291H954H2865H2865H935H3117H7451H7665H4932H767019The Lord said to me, "Go, stand in the gate of the people, where the kings of Judah come in and go out, and in the other gates of Jerusalem as well.H559H3068H1980H5975H8179H1121H5971H4428H3063H935H3318H8179H338920Say to them, 'Kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the residents of Jerusalem entering these gates, hear the word of the Lord.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3063H3427H3389H935H817921This is what the Lord says: "Be careful!
