The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: JER 2:20 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

JER 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how

JER 2:22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap,
yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
JER 2:23 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;
