Jeremiah 2:22-24

Tree of Life Version

²² Even though you wash with lye
        and use an abundance of soap,
    the stain of your iniquity is before Me.”
It is a declaration of the Lord Adonai.
²³ “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled—
        I have not gone after the Baalim^[a]?
    Look at your behavior in the Valley!
        Recognize what you have done.
    You are a swift young camel
        galloping aimlessly,
²⁴ a wild donkey used to the wilderness—
sniffing the wind in her passion—
in her heat, who can restrain her?
All males that pursue her will not tire themselves.
    At mating time they will find her.
