²⁰ ‘A long time ago, you stopped obeying me.
    You refused to accept my authority.
    You said, “I will not serve you!”
Instead, you go up on the hills to worship other gods.
    You lie down under the green trees,
    and you live like prostitutes.
²¹ I planted you in my land,
    like the very good seed of a vine.
But see how you have changed!
    You have become like a wild vine.
    Your grapes are bad and useless.
²² You may use strong soap to make yourselves clean.
    But I still see the dirt of your sins.’
That is what the Almighty Lord says.
