Jeremiah 2:20-24

NSB(i) 20 »Long ago you broke off your yoke, tore off your bonds, and said that you would not 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 »If you wash with detergent and use a lot of soap, I would still see the stains from your wickedness,« says the Lord Jehovah. 23 »How can you say, ‘I have not been dishonored and have not gone after the Baal gods?’ »Look how you have behaved in the valley. Acknowledge what you have done. You are like a young camel that swiftly runs here and there. 24 »You are like a wild donkey accustomed to the desert. You sniff at the wind while in heat. All who seek you will not get tired. They will find you during your monthly period.
