Jeremiah 2:20-22
New American Standard Bible

20 “For long ago [a](A)I broke your yoke
And tore off your restraints;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every (B)high hill
And under every leafy tree
You have lain down as a prostitute.
21 Yet I (C)planted you as a choice vine,
A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the (D)degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
22 Although you (E)wash yourself with lye
And [b]use much soap,
The (F)stain of your guilt is before Me,” declares the Lord [c]God.

Jeremiah 2:20-22
Holman 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 lie 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 soap,(F)
the stain of your sin is still in front of Me.(G)
This is the Lord God’s declaration.
