Jeremiah 2:20-25
20“For long ago you broke your yoke and tore off your chains, saying, ‘I will not serve!’ Indeed, on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down as a prostitute.21I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before Me into a rotten, wild vine?22Although you wash with lye and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before Me,” declares the Lord GOD.
23“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;I have not run after the Baals’?Look at your behavior in the valley;acknowledge what you have done.You are a swift young she-camelgalloping here and there,24a wild donkey at home in the wilderness,sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire.Who can restrain her passion?All who seek her need not weary themselves;in mating season they will find her.25You should have kept your feet from going bareand your throat from being thirsty.But you said, ‘It is hopeless!For I love foreign gods,and I must go after them.’
