Jeremiah 2:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah 2:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 Your own wickedness chastises you,
your own infidelities punish you.
Know then, and see, how evil and bitter
is your forsaking the Lord, your God,
And your showing no fear of me,
oracle of the Lord, the God of hosts.(A)
20 Long ago you broke your yoke,(B)
you tore off your bonds.
You said, “I will not serve.”
On every high hill, under every green tree,
you sprawled and served as a prostitute.[a]
21 But I had planted you as a choice vine,
all pedigreed stock;
How could you turn out so obnoxious to me,
a spurious vine?(C)
Jeremiah 2:19-21
New International Version
Jeremiah 2:19-21
New International Version
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding(A) will rebuke(B) you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter(C) it is for you
when you forsake(D) the Lord your God
and have no awe(E) of me,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
20 “Long ago you broke off your yoke(F)
and tore off your bonds;(G)
you said, ‘I will not serve you!’(H)
Indeed, on every high hill(I)
and under every spreading tree(J)
you lay down as a prostitute.(K)
21 I had planted(L) you like a choice vine(M)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(N) wild vine?
