Jeremiah 2:20-22
Christian Standard Bible

20 For long ago I[a] broke your yoke;(A)
I[b] tore off your chains.
You insisted, “I will not serve!”
On every high hill
and under every green tree(B)
you lay down like a prostitute.(C)

21 I planted you, a choice vine(D)
from the very best seed.
How then could you turn into
a degenerate, foreign vine?(E)

22 Even if you wash with lye
and use a great amount of bleach,[c](F)
the stain of your iniquity is still in front of me.(G)
This is the Lord God’s declaration.

22 Even if you wash with lye
and use a great amount of soap,(F)
the stain of your sin is still in front of Me.(G)
This is the Lord God’s declaration.
