Jeremiah 2:21-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
21 “Yet I (A)planted you a choice vine,
A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the (B)degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?
22 “Although you (C)wash yourself with lye
And [a]use much soap,
The (D)stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord [b]God.
23 “(E)How can you say, ‘I am not defiled,
I have not gone after the (F)Baals’?
Look at your way in the (G)valley!
Know what you have done!
You are a swift young camel (H)entangling her ways,

New International Version
21 I had planted(A) you like a choice vine(B)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(C) wild vine?
22 Although you wash(D) yourself with soap(E)
and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(F)
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(G)
I have not run after the Baals’?(H)
See how you behaved in the valley;(I)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(J) here and there,
