The sins of Judah.

20 ¶ For² of old timeº² I have brokenºª thy yoke,º [and] burstºª thy bands;º and thou saidst,ºª I will not² transgress;ºªª¹ when² upon² every² highº hillº and under² every² greenº treeº thou² wanderest,ºª playing the harlot.ºª 21 Yet I² had plantedºª thee a noble vine,º wholly² a rightº seed:º how² then art thou turnedºª into the degenerate² plant¹ of a strangeº vineº unto me? 22 For² though² thou washºª thee with nitre,º and take thee muchºª soap,º [yet] thine iniquityº is markedºª beforeº me, saithºª the Lordº GOD.º 23 How² canst thou say,ºª I am not² polluted,ºª I have not² goneºª afterº Baalim?º seeºª thy wayº in the valley,º knowºª what² thou hast done:ºª [thou art] a swiftº dromedaryº traversingºª her ways;º 24 A wild assº usedº to the wilderness,º [that] snuffeth upºª the windº at her pleasure;ºº in her occasionº who² can turn her away?ºª all² they that seekºª her will not² wearyºª themselves; in her monthº they shall findºª her. 25 Withholdºª thy footº from being unshod,º² and thy throatº from thirst:º² but thou saidst,ºª There is no hope:ºª no;² for² I have lovedºª strangers,ºª and afterº them will I go.¹ª² 26 As the thiefº is ashamedº when² he is found,ºª so² is the houseº of Israelº ashamed;¹ª² they,² their kings,º their princes,º and their priests,º and their prophets,º 27 Sayingºª to a stock,º Thou² [art] my father;º and to a stone,º Thou² hast brought me forth:ºª for² they have turnedºª [their] backº unto² me, and not² [their] face:º but in the timeº of their troubleº they will say,ºª Arise,ºª and saveºª us. 28 But where² [are] thy godsº that² thou hast madeºª thee? let them arise,ºª if² they can saveºª thee in the timeº of thy trouble:º for² [according to] the numberº of thy citiesº are² thy gods,º O Judah.º 29 Wherefore² will ye pleadºª with² me? ye all² have transgressedºª against me, saithºª the LORD.º 30 In vainº have I smittenºª² your children;º they receivedºª no² correction:º your own swordº hath devouredºª your prophets,º like a destroyingºª lion.º

31 ¶ O generation,º seeºª ye² the wordº of the LORD.º Have I been² a wildernessº unto Israel?º a landº of darkness?º wherefore² sayºª my people,º We are lords;ºª we will comeºª no² more² unto² thee? 32 Can a maidº forgetºª her ornaments,º [or] a brideº her attire?º yet my peopleº have forgottenºª me daysº without² number.º 33 Why² trimmestºª thou thy wayº to seekºª love?º therefore² hast thou also² taughtºª² the wicked onesº² thy ways.º 34 Also² in thy skirtsº is foundºª the bloodº of the soulsº of the poorº innocents:º I have not² foundºª it by secret search,º but² upon² all² these.² 35 Yet thou sayest,ºª Because² I am innocent,ºª surely² his angerº shall turnºª from² me. Behold,² I will plead¹ª with² thee, because² thou sayest,ºª I have not² sinned.ºª 36 Why² gaddest² thou about¹ª so muchº to changeºª² thy way?º thou also² shalt be ashamedºª of Egypt,º² as² thou wast ashamedºª of Assyria.º² 37 Yea,² thou shalt go forthºª from²² him,² and thine handsº upon² thine head:º for² the LORDº hath rejectedºª thy confidences,º and thou shalt not² prosperºª in them.
