*
Hast thou not procured this unto thyself ,
in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God ,
when he led thee by the way ?
*
And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt ,
to drink the waters of Sihor ?
or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria ,
to drink the waters of the river ?
*
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee ,
and thy backslidings shall reprove thee :
know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter ,
that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God ,
and that my fear is not in thee ,
saith the Lord GOD of hosts .
*
For of old time I have broken thy yoke ,
and burst thy bands ;
and thou saidst ,
I will not transgress (
8675 );
when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest ,
playing the harlot .
*
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 ?
*
For though thou wash thee with nitre ,
and take thee much soap ,
yet thine iniquity is marked before me ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
How canst thou say ,
I am not polluted ,
I have not gone after Baalim Ba #
al #?
see thy way in the valley ,
know what thou hast done :
thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways ;
