Considering Jeremiah 17 , the beginning is sort of vague to me can you guys interpret the first three verses to maek this more clear please? thanks

Hi Homie. Jeremiah chapter 17 continues from the previous chapter, where we find God's accusation against Judah for their many sins (see Jeremiah 16:10-18). Then in chapter 17, we see the grievousness of Judah's sin which ultimately sent them into Babylonian captivity: so terrible & permanent were their sins, that it was like when an engraver uses his iron scribing tool to chip into the stone he is working with, or the use of a diamond-tipped point to do similar work - the result is an indelible deep inscription both before God & etched on Judah's hearts and a memorial upon the "horns" of their idolatrous altars & groves (Asherah).

In verse 3, the LORD speaks of the heritage of Judah, of their possessions & places they gave over by committing wilful sin; all these they will lose one day as Babylon takes it all as spoil. Jeremiah was the last prophet to warn Judah before Judah went into exile as punishment.
