Jeremiah 2:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ Yet I had planted you a noble vine,
    a wholly faithful seed.
How then have you turned
    into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to Me?
²² For though you wash yourself with lye,
    and take much soap,
    yet your iniquity is marked before Me,
    says the Lord God.
²³ How can you say, “I am not polluted,
    I have not gone after the Baals”?
See your way in the valley.
    Know what you have done.
You are a swift young camel
    entangling her ways,
