Jeremiah 2:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ I planted you like a choice vine
    from the very best seed.
But look what you have become!
    You are like a rotten, worthless vine.
²² Even if you washed with the strongest soap,
    I would still see the stain of your guilt.
²³ How can you say you have not defiled yourself,
    that you have never worshiped Baal?
Look how you sinned in the valley;
    see what you have done.
You are like a wild camel in heat,
    running around loose,
