Jeremiah 2:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ Yet I planted you as a choice vine,
    all of it a seed of trustworthiness.
How then have you altered before me
    into something that is degenerate, the foreign vine?
²² For if you wash with natron,
    and you use much soap,^[a]
your guilt is sticking as a stain before^[b] me,”
    declares^[c] the Lord Yahweh.
²³ “How can you say, ‘I have not defiled myself,
    I have not gone after the Baals?’
Look at your way in the valley,
    know what you have done.
You are a young she-camel,
    interweaving her ways.
