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?

The verse 21 is found in chapter 2 of Jeremiah. Judah’s unfaithfulness is described through images of prostitution, a degenerate vine, and a female camel in heat. The prophetic language denounces a compulsive pursuit of other gods and political alliances. The nation attempts to justify itself, but its own conduct contradicts it. The chapter ends by showing that trust in human allies will ultimately produce shame.

Ich aber hatte dich gepflanzt zu einem süßen Weinstock, einen ganz rechtschaffenen Samen. Wie bist du mir denn geraten zu einem bitteren, wilden Weinstock?
Y yo te planté de buen vidueño, simiente verdadera toda ella: ¿cómo pues te me has tornado sarmientos de vid extraña?
Yo te planté como vid selecta, toda ella de semilla genuina. ¿Cómo te has convertido para mí en sarmientos degenerados de una vid extraña?
Je t'avais plantée comme une vigne excellente Et du meilleur plant; Comment as-tu changé, Dégénéré en une vigne étrangère?
Or ti avea io piantata di viti nobili, di una generazione vera tutta quanta; e come mi ti sei mutata in tralci tralignanti di vite strana?
Eu mesmo te plantei como vide excelente, uma semente inteiramente fiel; como, pois, te tornaste para mim uma planta degenerada como vide estranha?
然而,我栽種你為上等的葡萄樹, 全用純正的種子; 你怎麼向我變為外邦葡萄樹的壞枝子呢?
