Jeremiah 2:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ But I planted you as a special vine,
    as a very good seed.
How then did you turn
    into a wild vine that grows bad fruit?
²² Although you wash yourself with cleanser
    and use much soap,
    I can still see the stain of your guilt,” says the Lord God.
²³ “How can you say to me, ‘I am not guilty.
    I have not worshiped the Baal idols’?
Look at the things you did in the valley.
    Think about what you have done.
You are like a she-camel in mating season
    that runs from place to place.
