Jeremiah 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 under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
KJV
A sæculo confregisti jugum meum : rupisti vincula mea, et dixisti : Non serviam. In omni enim colle sublimi, et sub omni ligno frondoso, tu prosternebaris meretrix.
Vulgate
ὅτι ἀπ’ αἰῶνος συνέτριψας τὸν ζυγόν σου· διέσπασας τοὺς δεσμούς σου, καὶ εἶπας Οὐ δουλεύσω σοι, ἀλλὰ πορεύσομαι ἐπὶ πᾶν βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου κατασκίου, ἐκεῖ διαχυθήσομαι ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ μου.
LXX
For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot.
