Jeremiah 2:19-21
New King James Version
Jeremiah 2:19-21
New King James Version
19 Your own wickedness will (A)correct you,
And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the [a]fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
20 “For of old I have (B)broken your yoke and burst your bonds;
And (C)you said, ‘I will not [b]transgress,’
When (D)on every high hill and under every green tree
You lay down, (E)playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had (F)planted you a noble vine, a seed of highest quality.
How then have you turned before Me
Into (G)the degenerate plant of an alien vine?

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?
