| 20 | "For long ago you broke your yoke and burst your bonds; and you said, 'I will not serve.' Yea, upon every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down as a harlot. | Israel refuses to worship the LORD. Jr.2.20-25 | כִּי מֵעֹולָם שָׁבַרְתִּי עֻלֵּךְ נִתַּקְתִּי מֹוסְרֹתַיִךְ וַתֹּאמְרִי לֹא כ= אֶעֱבֹד ק= אֶעֱבֹור כִּי עַל־כָּל־גִּבְעָה גְּבֹהָה וְתַחַת כָּל־עֵץ רַעֲןָן אַתְּ צֹעָה זֹנָה׃ |
| 21 | Yet I planted you a choice vine, wholly of pure seed. How then have you turned degenerate and become a wild vine? | וְאָנֹכִי נְטַעְתִּיךְ שֹׂרֵק כֻּלֹּה זֶרַע אֱמֶת וְאֵיךְ נֶהְפַּכְתְּ לִי סוּרֵי הַגֶּפֶן נָכְרִיָּה׃ | |
| 22 | Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, says Yahweh GOD. | כִּי אִם־תְּכַבְּסִי בַּנֶּתֶר וְתַרְבִּי־לָךְ בֹּרִית נִכְתָּם עֲוֹנֵךְ לְפָנַי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ | |
| 23 | How can you say, 'I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals'? Look at your way in the valley; know what you have done - a restive young camel interlacing her tracks, | אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרִי לֹא נִטְמֵאתִי אַחֲרֵי הַבְּעָלִים לֹא הָלַכְתִּי רְאִי דַרְךֵּךְ בַּגַּיְא דְּעִי מֶה עָשִׂית בִּכְרָה קַלָּה מְשָׂרֶכֶת דְּרָכֶיהָ׃ | |
| 24 | a wild ass used to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None who seek her need weary themselves; in her month they will find her. | פֶּרֶה לִמֻּד מִדְבָּר בְּאַוַּת כ= נַפשֹׁו ק= נַפְשָׁהּ שָׁאֲפָה רוּחַ תַּאֲנָתָהּ מִי יְשִׁיבֶנָּה כָּל־מְבַקְשֶׁיהָ לֹא יִיעָפוּ בְּחָדְשָׁהּ יִמְצָאוּנְהָ׃ | |
| 25 | Keep your feet from going unshod and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is hopeless, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.' | מִנְעִי רַגְלֵךְ מִיָּחֵף כ= וּגֹורֹנֵךְ ק= וּגְרֹונֵךְ מִצִּמְאָה וַתֹּאמְרִי נֹואָשׁ לֹוא כִּי־אָהַבְתִּי זָרִים וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם אֵלֵךְ׃ | |
