1 Judah’s sin is engraved
   with an iron pen.
   It’s etched with a diamond point
   on the tablets of their hearts
   and on the horns of their altars.

2 Their children remember their altars and sacred poles
    by the lush trees and high hills.

3  Because you have committed such sins throughout your country,
    I will give to your enemies
    my mountain in the land,
    as well as your wealth and all that you treasure.

4  You will lose the inheritance that I gave you.
    I will make you slaves of your enemies
    in a land you don’t know,
    for my anger blazes like a fire
    that won’t go out.

5  The LORD proclaims:
    Cursed are those who trust in mere humans,
    who depend on human strength
    and turn their hearts from the LORD.

6  They will be like a desert shrub
    that doesn’t know when relief comes.
    They will live in the parched places of the wilderness,
    in a barren land where no one survives.

7  Happy are those who trust in the LORD,
    who rely on the LORD.

8  They will be like trees planted by the streams, 
    whose roots reach down to the water.
    They won’t fear drought when it comes;
    their leaves will remain green.
    They won’t be stressed in the time of drought
    or fail to bear fruit.  ''
