Jeremiah 2:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ I planted you like a choice grapevine from the very best seed.
Now you have turned against me and have become a wild vine.
²² Even if you wash with detergent and use a lot of soap,
I would still see the stains from your wickedness,”
declares the Almighty Lord.
²³ “How can you say that you haven’t dishonored yourselves
and haven’t followed other gods—the Baals?
Look how you’ve behaved in the valley.
Acknowledge what you’ve done.
You are like a young camel that swiftly runs here and there.
