Jeremiah 2:19-21
Darby Translation
19 Thine own wickedness chastiseth thee, and thy backslidings reprove thee: know then and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
20 For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not serve. For upon every high hill, and under every green tree, thou bowest down, playing the harlot.
21 And I,—I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art thou turned into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine unto me?

Jeremiah 2:19-21
New International Version
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(A) will rebuke(B) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(C) it is for you
when you forsake(D) the Lord your God
and have no awe(E) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke(F)
and tore off your bonds;(G)
you said, ‘I will not serve you!’(H)
Indeed, on every high hill(I)
and under every spreading tree(J)
you lay down as a prostitute.(K)
21 I had planted(L) you like a choice vine(M)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(N) wild vine?
