Jeremiah 2:20-22
English Standard Version
20 “For long ago I (A)broke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, (B)‘I will not serve.’
Yes, (C)on every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down (D)like a whore.
21 (E)Yet I planted you a choice vine,
wholly of pure seed.
(F)How then have you turned degenerate
and become a wild vine?
22 Though you wash yourself with lye
and use much soap,
(G)the stain of your guilt is still before me,
declares the Lord God.
Jeremiah 2:20-22
New International Version
20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke(A)
and tore off your bonds;(B)
you said, ‘I will not serve you!’(C)
Indeed, on every high hill(D)
and under every spreading tree(E)
you lay down as a prostitute.(F)
21 I had planted(G) you like a choice vine(H)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(I) wild vine?
22 Although you wash(J) yourself with soap(K)
and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(L)
