Context Readings

The Sin Of Judah

1 "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars, 2 As they remember their children,
So they remember their altars and their Asherim
By green trees 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 high places for sin throughout all your territory.
