Jeremiah 2:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ “Long ago you broke off your yoke,^[a] tore off your chains,
and said that you wouldn’t be a slave.
You lay down and acted like a prostitute
on every high hill and under every large tree.
²¹ I planted you like a choice grapevine from the very best seed.
Now you have turned against me and have become a wild vine.
²² Even if you wash with detergent and use a lot of soap,
I would still see the stains from your wickedness,”
declares the Almighty Lord.
