Jeremiah 2:20-31

For of old time
<05769>
I have broken
<07665> (8804)
thy yoke
<05923>_,
[and] burst
<05423> (8765)
thy bands
<04147>_;
and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not transgress
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05647> (8799)_;
when upon every high
<01364>
hill
<01389>
and under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>
thou wanderest
<06808> (8802)_,
playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had planted
<05193> (8804)
thee a noble vine
<08321>_,
wholly a right
<0571>
seed
<02233>_:
how then art thou turned
<02015> (8738)
into the degenerate plant
<05494>
of a strange
<05237>
vine
<01612>
unto me?
For though thou wash
<03526> (8762)
thee with nitre
<05427>_,
and take thee much
<07235> (8686)
soap
<01287>_,
[yet] thine iniquity
<05771>
is marked
<03799> (8737)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
How canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,
I am not polluted
<02930> (8738)_,
I have not gone
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
Baalim
<01168>_?
see
<07200> (8798)
thy way
<01870>
in the valley
<01516>_,
know
<03045> (8798)
what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_:
[thou art] a swift
<07031>
dromedary
<01072>
traversing
<08308> (8764)
her ways
<01870>_;
{thou art...: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild ass
<06501>
used
<03928>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
[that] snuffeth up
<07602> (8804)
the wind
<07307>
at her pleasure
<0185> <05315>_;
in her occasion
<08385>
who can turn her away
<07725> (8686)_?
all they that seek
<01245> (8764)
her will not weary
<03286> (8799)
themselves; in her month
<02320>
they shall find
<04672> (8799)
her. {A wild...: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn...: or, reverse it?}
Withhold
<04513> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
from being unshod
<03182>_,
and thy throat
<01627>
from thirst
<06773>_:
but thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:
no; for I have loved
<0157> (8804)
strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
and after
<0310>
them will I go
<03212> (8799)_.
{There...: or, Is the case desperate?}
As the thief
<01590>
is ashamed
<01322>
when he is found
<04672> (8735)_,
so is the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;
they, their kings
<04428>_,
their princes
<08269>_,
and their priests
<03548>_,
and their prophets
<05030>_,
Saying
<0559> (8802)
to a stock
<06086>_,
Thou [art] my father
<01>_;
and to a stone
<068>_,
Thou hast brought me forth
<03205> (8804)_:
for they have turned
<06437> (8804)
[their] back
<06203>
unto me, and not [their] face
<06440>_:
but in the time
<06256>
of their trouble
<07451>
they will say
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and save
<03467> (8685)
us. {brought...: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
But where [are] thy gods
<0430>
that thou hast made
<06213> (8804)
thee? let them arise
<06965> (8799)_,
if they can save
<03467> (8686)
thee in the time
<06256>
of thy trouble
<07451>_:
for [according to] the number
<04557>
of thy cities
<05892>
are thy gods
<0430>_,
O Judah
<03063>_.
{trouble: Heb. evil}
Wherefore will ye plead
<07378> (8799)
with me? ye all have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
In vain
<07723>
have I smitten
<05221> (8689)
your children
<01121>_;
they received
<03947> (8804)
no correction
<04148>_:
your own sword
<02719>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
your prophets
<05030>_,
like a destroying
<07843> (8688)
lion
<0738>_.
O generation
<01755>_,
see
<07200> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Have I been a wilderness
<04057>
unto Israel
<03478>_?
a land
<0776>
of darkness
<03991>_?
wherefore say
<0559> (8804)
my people
<05971>_,
We are lords
<07300> (8804)_;
we will come
<0935> (8799)
no more unto thee? {We are...: Heb. We have dominion}
