The
sin
of
Judah
[is]
written
with
a
pen
of
iron,
[and]
with
the
point
of
a
diamond:
[it
is]
graven
upon
the
table
of
their
heart,
and
upon
the
horns
of
your
altars;
2
Whilst
their
children
remember
their
altars
and
their
groves
by
the
green
trees
upon
the
high
hills.
3
O
my
mountain
in
the
field,
I
will
give
thy
substance
[and]
all
thy
treasures
to
the
spoil,
[and]
thy
high
places
for
sin,
throughout
all
thy
borders.
4
And
thou,
even
thyself,
shalt
discontinue
from
thine
heritage
that
I
gave
thee;
and
I
will
cause
thee
to
serve
thine
enemies
in
the
land
which
thou
knowest
not:
for
ye
have
kindled
a
fire
in
mine
anger,
[which]
shall
burn
for
ever.
5
Thus
saith
the
LORD;
Cursed
[be]
the
man
that
trusteth
in
man,
and
maketh
flesh
his
arm,
and
whose
heart
departeth
from
the
LORD.
6
For
he
shall
be
like
the
heath
in
the
desert,
and
shall
not
see
when
good
cometh;
but
shall
inhabit
the
parched
places
in
the
wilderness,
[in]
a
salt
land
and
not
inhabited.
7
Blessed
[is]
the
man
that
trusteth
in
the
LORD,
and
whose
hope
the
LORD
8
For
he
shall
be
as
a
tree
planted
by
the
waters,
and
[that]
spreadeth
out
her
roots
by
the
river,
and
shall
not
see
when
heat
cometh,
but
her
leaf
shall
be
green;
and
shall
not
be
careful
in
the
year
of
drought,
neither
shall
cease
from
yielding
fruit.
9
The
heart
[is]
deceitful
above
all
[things],
and
desperately
wicked:
who
can
know
10
I
the
LORD
search
the
heart,
[I]
try
the
reins,
even
to
give
every
man
according
to
his
ways,
[and]
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
doings.
11
[As]
the
partridge
sitteth
[on
eggs],
and
hatcheth
[them]
not;
[so]
he
that
getteth
riches,
and
not
by
right,
shall
leave
them
in
the
midst
of
his
days,
and
at
his
end
shall
be
a
fool.
12
A
glorious
high
throne
from
the
beginning
[is]
the
place
of
our
sanctuary.
13
O
LORD,
the
hope
of
Israel,
all
that
forsake
thee
shall
be
ashamed,
[and]
they
that
depart
from
me
shall
be
written
in
the
earth,
because
they
have
forsaken
the
LORD,
the
fountain
of
living
waters.
14
Heal
me,
O
LORD,
and
I
shall
be
healed;
save
me,
and
I
shall
be
saved:
for
thou
[art]
my
praise.
15
Behold,
they
say
unto
me,
Where
[is]
the
word
of
the
LORD?
let
it
come
now.
16
As
for
me,
I
have
not
hastened
from
[being]
a
pastor
to
follow
thee:
neither
have
I
desired
the
woeful
day;
thou
knowest:
that
which
came
out
of
my
lips
was
[right]
before
thee.
17
Be
not
a
terror
unto
me:
thou
[art]
my
hope
in
the
day
of
evil.
18
Let
them
be
confounded
that
persecute
me,
but
let
not
me
be
confounded:
let
them
be
dismayed,
but
let
not
me
be
dismayed:
bring
upon
them
the
day
of
evil,
and
destroy
them
with
double
destruction.
19
Thus
said
the
LORD
unto
me;
Go
and
stand
in
the
gate
of
the
children
of
the
people,
whereby
the
kings
of
Judah
come
in,
and
by
the
which
they
go
out,
and
in
all
the
gates
of
Jerusalem;
20
And
say
unto
them,
Hear
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD,
ye
kings
of
Judah,
and
all
Judah,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
that
enter
in
by
these
gates:
21
Thus
saith
the
LORD;
Take
heed
to
yourselves,
and
bear
no
burden
on
the
sabbath
day,
nor
bring
[it]
in
by
the
gates
of
Jerusalem;
22
Neither
carry
forth
a
burden
out
of
your
houses
on
the
sabbath
day,
neither
do
ye
any
work,
but
hallow
ye
the
sabbath
day,
as
I
commanded
your
fathers.
23
But
they
obeyed
not,
neither
inclined
their
ear,
but
made
their
neck
stiff,
that
they
might
not
hear,
nor
receive
instruction.
24
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
if
ye
diligently
hearken
unto
me,
saith
the
LORD,
to
bring
in
no
burden
through
the
gates
of
this
city
on
the
sabbath
day,
but
hallow
the
sabbath
day,
to
do
no
work
therein;
25
Then
shall
there
enter
into
the
gates
of
this
city
kings
and
princes
sitting
upon
the
throne
of
David,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses,
they,
and
their
princes,
the
men
of
Judah,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem:
and
this
city
shall
remain
for
ever.
26
And
they
shall
come
from
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
from
the
places
about
Jerusalem,
and
from
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
from
the
plain,
and
from
the
mountains,
and
from
the
south,
bringing
burnt
offerings,
and
sacrifices,
and
meat
offerings,
and
incense,
and
bringing
sacrifices
of
praise,
unto
the
house
of
the
LORD.
27
But
if
ye
will
not
hearken
unto
me
to
hallow
the
sabbath
day,
and
not
to
bear
a
burden,
even
entering
in
at
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
on
the
sabbath
day;
then
will
I
kindle
a
fire
in
the
gates
thereof,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Jerusalem,
and
it
shall
not
be
quenched.
