Jeremiah 3:6-7: "The Lord said in the days of King Josiah, He saw what Israel did, the adultere, how it was gone over the whole high and under the whole green tree." This verse highlights Israel's infidelity to God, and the people's tendency to seek the worship of idols in high places under trees.

Hosea 10:1: "Israel was a luxurious vine, which bears fruit to yourself.
