Jeremiah 2:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
²³ ‘You say, “We have not made ourselves unclean.
    We do not worship the idols of Baal.”
But remember what you have done in the valleys.^[a]
You hurry to find another idol that you can worship.
    Like a female camel, you cannot control yourselves.
