## Jeremiah 17:1-2 in Context (Verses 1–5 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/jeremiah/17/1) 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/17/2) Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/jeremiah/17/3) 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/17/4) 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/17/5) ¶ Thus saith the LORD; Cursed *be* the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
 
[Jeremiah 16](/kjv/jeremiah/16) [Jeremiah 18](/kjv/jeremiah/18)
