Degenerate:
de-jen'-er-at: Only in Jer 2:21, where Judah is compared to a "noble vine" which it "turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine." It represents Hebrew curim =" stray" or "degenerate (shoots)," from cur =" to turn aside," especially to turn aside from the right path (Greek pikria, literally, "bitterness").
Degenerate: Having Fallen from a Desirable State.
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? (Jeremiah 2:21)
