Jeremiah 2:20-22

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁰ “For long ago I broke your yoke;
when I snapped your chains, you said, ‘I won’t sin.’
Yet on every high hill, under every green tree,
you sprawled and prostituted yourself.
²¹ But I planted you as a choice vine
of seed fully tested and true.
How did you degenerate
into a wild vine for me?
²² Even if you scrub yourself
with soda and plenty of soap,
the stain of your guilt is still there before me,”
says Adonai Elohim.
