Jeremiah 2:20-28
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a
right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine
unto me?
22 For though thou wash thee
with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before
me, saith the Lord GOD.
23 How canst
thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the
valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing
her ways;
24 A wild ass used to the
wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion
who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her
month they shall find her.
25
Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst:
but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after
them will I go.
26 As the thief is
ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings,
their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and
to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back
unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will
say, Arise, and save us.
28 But where
are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save
thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy
cities are thy gods, O Judah.
As it was in old Israel, that the went whoring after all manner of false gods, so our people and Nation do, today, in the USA. We need to repent of our sin and return unto the One True Living God and His only Christ, Jesus.
