24:017:001 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; 24:017:002 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. 24:017:003 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. 24:017:004 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. 24:017:005 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 24:017:006 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. 24:017:007 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 24:017:008 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. 24:017:009 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 24:017:010 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. 24:017:011 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. 24:017:012 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 24:017:013 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. 24:017:014 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. 24:017:015 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 24:017:016 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. 24:017:017 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
