Consider and see how evil and bitter it is for you to forsake the LORD your God and to have no fear of me,” declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. 20 For long ago I broke your yoke and tore off your bonds, but you said, ‘I will not serve!’ Indeed, on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down as a prostitute. 21 I planted you as a choice vine, from the very best seed.

But I will bring you to judgment because you say, 'I have not sinned.' 36 Why do you go about changing your direction so much?
