Jeremiah 2:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Your wickedness will bring about your punishment,
    and your infidelities will condemn you.
Therefore, concentrate your thoughts
    and see how bitter it is
    to forsake the Lord, your God,
and to have no fear of me,
    says the Lord, the God of hosts.
²⁰ A long time ago you broke your yoke
    and burst your bonds,
    saying, “I will not serve.”
On every high hill
    and under every green tree
    you have sprawled and given yourself to harlotry.
²¹ I had planted you as a choice vine
    from the purest stock.
How then did you degenerate
    into a wild and corrupt vine?
