Jeremiah 2:20-25
20“For longH5769 agoH5769 12I brokeH7665 your yokeH5923 And toreH5423 offH5423 your restraintsH4147; But you saidH559, ‘I will not serveH5647!’ For on everyH3605 3highH1364 hillH1389 And underH8478 everyH3605 leafyH7488 treeH6086 You have lainH6808 downH6808 as a prostituteH2181.21Yet I 4plantedH5193 you as a choiceH8321 vineH8321, A completelyH3605 faithfulH571 seedH2233. HowH349 then have you turnedH2015 yourself before Me Into the 5degenerateH5493 shoots of a foreignH5237 vineH1612?22AlthoughH3588H518 you 6washH3526 yourself with lyeH5427 And 7useH7235 muchH7235 soapH1287, The 8stainH3799 of your guiltH5771 is beforeH6440 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 9GodH3068.23“10HowH349 can you sayH559, ‘I am not defiledH2930, I have not goneH1980 afterH310 the 11BaalsH1168’? LookH7200 at your wayH1870 in the 12valleyH1516! KnowH3045 whatH4100 you have doneH6213! You are a swiftH7031 youngH1072 camelH1072 13runningH8308 aboutH8308 senselesslyH8308 on her waysH1870,24A 14wildH6501 donkeyH6501 accustomedH3928 to the wildernessH4057, That sniffsH7602 the windH7307 in her passionH185H5315. WhoH4310 can turnH7725 her awayH7725 in her matingH8385 seasonH8385? NoneH3605H3808 who seekH1245 her will growH3286 wearyH3286; In her monthH2320 they will findH4672 her.25KeepH4513 your feetH7272 fromH4513H4480 being bareH3182, And your throatH1627 from thirstH6773; But you saidH559, ‘15It is 16hopelessH2976! NoH3808! For I have 17lovedH157 strangersH2114, And I will walkH1980 afterH310 them.’
