Jeremiah 2:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ But I planted you as a ·special [choice] vine [Is. 5:1–7],
    ·as a very good seed [from good stock].
How then did you turn
    into a wild vine [^Cgrowing bad fruit]?
²² Although you wash yourself with ·cleanser [lye]
    and use much soap [Mal. 3:2],
    I can still see the stain of your guilt,” says the Lord God.
²³ “How can you say to me, ‘I am not ·guilty [^Ldefiled].
    I have not ·worshiped [^Lgone after] the Baals [^Cidols]’?
Look at ·the things you did [^Lyour way/path] in the valley.
    ·Think about [Know] what you have done.
You are like a she-camel
    that runs from place to place [^Cas if in heat].
