Jeremiah 2:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ “Yet I ^(A)planted you a choice vine,
A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the ^(B)degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
²² “Although you ^(C)wash yourself with lye

The ^(D)stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord ^[b]God.
²³ “^(E)How can you say, ‘I am not defiled,

Look at your way in the ^(G)valley!
