Jeremiah 2:20 - 2:22

“For long ago I broke your yoke

And tore off your bonds;

But you said, ‘I will not serve!’

For on every high hill

And under every green tree

You have lain down as a harlot.

Yet I planted you a choice vine,

A completely true seed.

How then have you turned yourself before Me

Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?

Although you wash yourself with lye

And use much soap,

The stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares Lord Yahweh.
