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. How then have you turned into wild, degenerate branches of a foreign vine for me? 22 Though you wash yourself with lye and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me,” declares the Lord GOD. 23 How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not followed the Baals’? Consider your path in the valley; acknowledge what you have done—like a swift young she-camel running here and there. 24 You are like a wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness, sniffing the wind in her desire. Who can restrain her in her mating season? None of those seeking her will grow weary; in her month, they will find her. 25 Keep your feet from going bare and your throat from thirst. But you said, ‘It’s hopeless! I love foreigners, and I will follow them.’ 26 As a thief is ashamed when caught, so the house of Israel is put to shame—they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets. 27 They say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces. Yet in their time of trouble, they will say, ‘Arise and save us!’ 28 But where are your gods that you made for yourself? Let them arise and save you in your time of trouble, if they can. For as many as your cities are your gods, Judah. 29 Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me,” declares the LORD. 30 In vain I have struck your children; they accepted no discipline. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravenous lion. 31 You people of this generation, consider the word of the LORD: ‘Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of deep darkness? Why do my people say, “We are free to roam; we will come to you no more”?’ 32 Can a maiden forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding adornments? Yet my people have forgotten me for days without number. 33 How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women you have taught your ways. 34 Even on your skirts is found the blood of the innocent poor. You did not find them breaking in, yet it is because of all these things. 35 Yet you say, 'I am innocent; surely his anger has turned away from me.' 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? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. 37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not prosper through them.
