Jeremiah 2:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Even though you scrub yourself with soap or strong powder,
    the stain of your sin is still before me,
        declares the Lord God.
²³ How can you say,
    “I’m not dirty;
    I haven’t gone after Baals.”
Look what you have done in the valley;
    consider what you have done there.
You are like a frenzied young camel,
    racing around,
²⁴     a wild donkey in the wilderness,
    lustfully sniffing the wind.
Who can restrain such passion?
    Those who desire her need not give up;
    with little effort they will find her in heat.
