Jeremiah 2:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

²² You may use strong soap to make yourselves clean.
    But I still see the dirt of your sins.’
That is what the Almighty Lord says.
²³ ‘You say, “We have not made ourselves unclean.
    We do not worship the idols of Baal.”
But remember what you have done in the valleys.^[a]
You hurry to find another idol that you can worship.
    Like a female camel, you cannot control yourselves.
²⁴ You are like a wild female donkey that lives in the wilderness.
    She lifts her nose to smell the air.
    She wants to find a male donkey.
    Nobody can control her.
Male donkeys do not have to chase her.
    She will come to them to have sex with them.
You are like that as you chase after false gods.
