Jeremiah 2:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹Your wickedness will be punished,
    and you will be corrected due to your acts of apostasy.
Know and see that it’s evil and bitter for you
    to forsake the Lord your God,
but the fear of me is not in you,”
    declares the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.

²⁰“For long ago I broke your yoke
    and tore off your bonds,
But you said, ‘I won’t serve you!’
    Instead, on every high hill
and under every green tree,
    you bend down to commit fornication.
²¹I planted you myself as a choice vine,
    from the very best seed.^[a]
How did you turn against me
    into a degenerate and foreign vine?
