20  “For long ago I dbroke your yoke

and burst your bonds;

but you said, e‘I will not serve.’

Yes, fon every high hill

and under every green tree

you bowed down glike a whore.

21  hYet I planted you a choice vine,

wholly of pure seed.

iHow then have you turned degenerate

and become a wild vine?

22  Though you wash yourself with lye

and use much soap,

jthe stain of your guilt is still before me,

declares the Lord God.

23  kHow can you say, ‘I am not unclean,

I have not gone after the Baals’?

Look at your way lin the valley;

know what you have done—

a restless young camel running here and there,

24  ma 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.

25  Keep nyour feet from going unshod

and oyour throat from thirst.

But you said, ‘It is hopeless,

pfor I have loved foreigners,

and after them I will go.’
