Jeremiah 2:20-30

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.

26As the thiefH1590 is ashamedH954 when he is foundH4672, soH3651 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 ashamedH954; they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, and their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030;

27whichH6086 sayH559 to a stock, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast broughtH3205 meH413 forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6437 unto meH413, and notH3808 their faceH6440: but in the time of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 usH413.

28But whereH834 are thy godsH430 that thou hast madeH6213 thee? letH1961 them ariseH6965, ifH518 they canH518 saveH3467 thee in the time of thy troubleH7451: for according to the numberH4557 of thy citiesH5892 are thy godsH430, O JudahH3063.

29Wherefore will ye pleadH7378 with meH413? ye allH3605 have transgressedH6586 againstH413 meH413, saith the LORDH3068.

30In vainH7723 have I smittenH5221 your childrenH1121; they receivedH3947 noH3808 correctionH4148: your own swordH2719 hath devouredH398 your prophetsH5030, like a destroyingH7843 lionH738.
