Jeremiah 2:20-25

20For of oldH5769 time I have brokenH7665 thy yokeH5923, and burstH5423 thy bandsH4147; and thou saidst, I will notH3808 serveH5647; for uponH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 hillH1389 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086 thou didst bow thyself, playingH2181 the harlotH2181.

21Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH1612, whollyH3605 a rightH571 seedH2233: howH349 then art thou turnedH2015 intoH2015 the degenerate plantH5193 of a strange vineH1612 unto meH3605?

22For thoughH3588 thou washH3526 thee with lyeH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is marked beforeH6440 meH6440, saith the LordH136 GODH136.

23HowH4100 canst thou sayH559, I am notH3808 defiledH2930, I have notH3808 goneH1980 afterH310 the Baalim? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 whatH4100 thou hast doneH6213: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedary traversing herH7200 waysH1870;

24a wildH6501 ass usedH3605 to the wildernessH4057, that snuffeth upH3605 the windH7307 in herH3605 desireH5315; in herH3605 occasion who canH4310 turnH7725 herH3605 awayH7725? allH3605 they that seekH1245 herH3605 will notH3808 wearyH3286 themselvesH5315; in herH3605 monthH2320 they shall findH4672 herH3605.

25WithholdH4513 thy footH7272 from being unshodH3182, and thy throat from thirstH6773: but thou saidst, There is noH3808 hope: noH3808; for I have lovedH157 strangersH2114, and afterH310 them will I go.
