20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke,[a] tore off your chains,
    and said that you wouldn’t be a slave.
    You lay down and acted like a prostitute
    on every high hill and under every large tree.
21 I planted you like a choice grapevine from the very best seed.
    Now you have turned against me and have become a wild vine.
22 Even if you wash with detergent and use a lot of soap,
    I would still see the stains from your wickedness,”
        declares Adonay Yahweh.
