Guilt Written on the Heart

17 “The sins of Judah are written where they cannot be erased—
    cut into stone with an iron pen,
cut deep with a hard tip into the stone that is the hearts of the people.
    Their sins are carved into the horns of their altars.[a]
Their children remember the altars
    that were dedicated to false gods.
They remember the wooden poles
    that were dedicated to Asherah.
They remember those things
    under the green trees and on the hills.

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 17:1 horns of their altars The corners of altars were shaped like horns, and the blood of sacrifices was smeared on them. So Jeremiah may mean that the people’s sins have made their altars unfit for sacrifices.
