Jeremiah 2:20-22

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ “Indeed, long ago I broke your yoke
        and tore off your bonds.
    You said, ‘I will not serve!’
    Instead, on every high hill
        and under every green tree
        you sprawled out as a prostitute.
²¹ Yet I had planted you as a choice vine
from completely faithful seed.
    How then did you become to Me
        a wandering wild vine?
²² Even though you wash with lye
        and use an abundance of soap,
    the stain of your iniquity is before Me.”
It is a declaration of the Lord Adonai.
