Jeremiah 2:22-24

Modern English Version

²² For though you wash yourself with lye,
    and take much soap,
    yet your iniquity is marked before Me,
    says the Lord God.
²³ How can you say, “I am not polluted,
    I have not gone after the Baals”?
See your way in the valley.
    Know what you have done.
You are a swift young camel
    entangling her ways,
²⁴ a wild donkey used to the wilderness
    that sniffs the wind in her passion.
    In the time of her heat, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
    in her month they shall find her.
