Jeremiah 2:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 “(A)Your own wickedness will correct you,
And your (B)apostasies will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and (C)bitter
For you to forsake the Lord your God,
And (D)the dread of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord [a]God of hosts.
20 “For long ago [b](E)I broke your yoke
And tore off your bonds;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every (F)high hill
And under every green tree
You have lain down as a harlot.
21 “Yet I (G)planted you a choice vine,
A completely faithful seed.
How then have you turned yourself before Me
Into the (H)degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?

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?
