Jeremiah 17:1-2-11 The Message (MSG)

1-2. “Judah’s sin is engravedwith a steel chisel,A steel chisel with a diamond point—engraved on their granite hearts,engraved on the stone corners of their altars.The evidence against them is plain to see:sex-and-religion altars and sacred sex shrinesAnywhere there’s a grove of trees,anywhere there’s an available hill.

11. Like a cowbird that cheats by laying its eggsin another bird’s nestIs the person who gets rich by cheating.When the eggs hatch, the deceit is exposed.What a fool he’ll look like then!
