Jeremiah 2:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

²² Even if you wash yourself with lye,
    even if you use much soap,
I can still see your guilt.”
    This message is from the Lord God.
²³ “Judah, how can you say to me,
    ‘I am not guilty because I have not worshiped the Baal idols’?
Think about what you did in the valley.
    Think about what you have done.
You are like a fast she-camel
    that runs from place to place.
²⁴ You are like a wild donkey that lives in the desert.
    At mating time, she sniffs the wind.
    No one can control her when she is in heat.
At mating time, every male that wants her will get her.
    She is easy to find.
