Explore this passage in the graph20“For long ago I broke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, ‘I will not serve.’
Yes, on every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down like a whore. 21Yet I planted you a choice vine,
wholly of pure seed.
How then have you turned degenerate
and become a wild vine? 22Though you wash yourself with lye
and use much soap,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,
declares the Lord GOD. 23How can you say, ‘I am not unclean,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
Look at your way in the valley;
know what you have done—
a restless young camel running here and there, 24a wild donkey used to the wilderness,
in her heat sniffing the wind!
Who can restrain her lust?
None who seek her need weary themselves;
in her month they will find her. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
