Jeremiah 2:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² You might wash yourself with cleanser.
    And you might use much soap.
    But I can still see the stain of your guilt,” says the Lord God.
²³ “How can you say to me, ‘I am not guilty.
    I have not worshiped the Baal idols’?
Think about the things you did in the valley.
    Think about what you have done.
You are like a she-camel in mating season
    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.
    At that time no one can hold her back.
Any male who chases her will easily catch her.
    At mating time, it is easy to find her.
