Jeremiah 2:20-25

20For of old time I have brokenH7665 thy yokeH5923, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serveH5647; for upon every highH1364 hillH1389 and under every green treeH6086 thou didst bow thyself, playingH2181 the harlot. 21Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH1612, wholly a right seedH2233: howH349 then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate branches of a foreignH5237 vineH1612 unto me? 22For though thou washH3526 thee with lye, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is marked before me, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 23HowH4100 canst thou sayH559, I am not defiledH2930, I have not goneH1980 after the Baalim? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 what thou hast done: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedary traversing her waysH1870; 24a wildH6501 ass used to the wildernessH4057, that snuffeth up the windH7307 in her desireH5315; in her occasion who can turnH7725 her awayH7725? all they that seekH1245 her will not wearyH3286 themselves; in her monthH2320 they shall findH4672 her. 25WithholdH4513 thy footH7272 from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have lovedH157 strangersH2114, and after them will I go.
