24:002:009 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the lord, and with
           your children’s children will I plead.

24:002:010 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto
           Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a
           thing.

24:002:011 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but
           my people have changed their glory for that which doth not
           profit.

24:002:012 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid,
           be ye very desolate, saith the lord.

24:002:013 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me
           the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns,
           broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

24:002:014 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he
           spoiled?

24:002:015 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his
           land waste:  his cities are burned without inhabitant.

24:002:016 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown
           of thy head.

24:002:017 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast
           forsaken the lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?

24:002:018 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?

24:002:019 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.

24:002:020 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.

24:002:021 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?

24:002:022 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap,
           yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord god.

24:002:023 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;

24:002:024 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.
