17:1 "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,
17:2 while
their
children
remember
their
altars
and
their
Asherim,
beside
every
green
tree
and
on
the
high
hills,
17:3 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.
17:4 You
shall
loosen
your
hand
from
your
heritage
that
I
gave
to
you,
and
I
will
make
you
serve
your
enemies
in
a
land
that
you
do
not
know,
for
in
my
anger
a
fire
is
kindled
that
shall
burn
forever."
17:5 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"Cursed
is
the
man
who
trusts
in
man
and
makes
flesh
his
strength,
whose
heart
turns
away
from
the
LORD.
17:6 He
is
like
a
shrub
in
the
desert,
and
shall
not
see
any
good
come.
He
shall
dwell
in
the
parched
places
of
the
wilderness,
in
an
uninhabited
salt
land.
17:7 "Blessed
is
the
man
who
trusts
in
the
LORD,
whose
trust
is
the
LORD.
17:8 He
is
like
a
tree
planted
by
water,
that
sends
out
its
roots
by
the
stream,
and
does
not
fear
when
heat
comes,
for
its
leaves
remain
green,
and
is
not
anxious
in
the
year
of
drought,
for
it
does
not
cease
to
bear
fruit."
17:9 The
heart
is
deceitful
above
all
things,
and
desperately
sick;
who
can
understand
it
17:10 "I
the
LORD
search
the
heart
and
test
the
mind,
to
give
every
man
according
to
his
ways,
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
deeds."
17:11 Like
the
partridge
that
gathers
a
brood
that
she
did
not
hatch,
so
is
he
who
gets
riches
but
not
by
justice;
in
the
midst
of
his
days
they
will
leave
him,
and
at
his
end
he
will
be
a
fool.
17:12 A
glorious
throne
set
on
high
from
the
beginning
is
the
place
of
our
sanctuary.
17:13 O
LORD,
the
hope
of
Israel,
all
who
forsake
you
shall
be
put
to
shame;
those
who
turn
away
from
you
shall
be
written
in
the
earth,
for
they
have
forsaken
the
LORD,
the
fountain
of
living
water.
17:14 Heal
me,
O
LORD,
and
I
shall
be
healed;
save
me,
and
I
shall
be
saved,
for
you
are
my
praise.
17:15 Behold,
they
say
to
me,
"Where
is
the
word
of
the
LORD
Let
it
come!"
17:16 I
have
not
run
away
from
being
your
shepherd,
nor
have
I
desired
the
day
of
sickness.
You
know
what
came
out
of
my
lips;
it
was
before
your
face.
17:17 Be
not
a
terror
to
me;
you
are
my
refuge
in
the
day
of
disaster.
17:18 Let
those
be
put
to
shame
who
persecute
me,
but
let
me
not
be
put
to
shame;
let
them
be
dismayed,
but
let
me
not
be
dismayed;
bring
upon
them
the
day
of
disaster;
destroy
them
with
double
destruction!
17:19 Thus
said
the
LORD
to
me:
"Go
and
stand
in
the
People's
Gate,
by
which
the
kings
of
Judah
enter
and
by
which
they
go
out,
and
in
all
the
gates
of
Jerusalem,
17:20 and
say:
'Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
you
kings
of
Judah,
and
all
Judah,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
who
enter
by
these
gates.
17:21 Thus
says
the
LORD:
Take
care
for
the
sake
of
your
lives,
and
do
not
bear
a
burden
on
the
Sabbath
day
or
bring
it
in
by
the
gates
of
Jerusalem.
17:22 And
do
not
carry
a
burden
out
of
your
houses
on
the
Sabbath
or
do
any
work,
but
keep
the
Sabbath
day
holy,
as
I
commanded
your
fathers.
17:23 Yet
they
did
not
listen
or
incline
their
ear,
but
stiffened
their
neck,
that
they
might
not
hear
and
receive
instruction.
17:24 "'But
if
you
listen
to
me,
declares
the
LORD,
and
bring
in
no
burden
by
the
gates
of
this
city
on
the
Sabbath
day,
but
keep
the
Sabbath
day
holy
and
do
no
work
on
it,
17:25 then
there
shall
enter
by
the
gates
of
this
city
kings
and
princes
who
sit
on
the
throne
of
David,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses,
they
and
their
officials,
the
men
of
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
And
this
city
shall
be
inhabited
forever.
17:26 And
people
shall
come
from
the
cities
of
Judah
and
the
places
around
Jerusalem,
from
the
land
of
Benjamin,
from
the
Shephelah,
from
the
hill
country,
and
from
the
Negeb,
bringing
burnt
offerings
and
sacrifices,
grain
offerings
and
frankincense,
and
bringing
thank
offerings
to
the
house
of
the
LORD.
17:27 But
if
you
do
not
listen
to
me,
to
keep
the
Sabbath
day
holy,
and
not
to
bear
a
burden
and
enter
by
the
gates
of
Jerusalem
on
the
Sabbath
day,
then
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
its
gates,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Jerusalem
and
shall
not
be
quenched.'"
