Jeremiah 2:23-25
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 2:23-25
Contemporary English Version
23 You deny your sins
and say, “We aren't unclean.
We haven't worshiped Baal.”[a]
But think about what you do
in Hinnom Valley.[b]
You run back and forth
like young camels,
as you rush to worship one idol
after another.
24 You are a female donkey
sniffing the desert air,
wanting to mate
with just anyone.
You are an easy catch!
25 Your shoes are worn out,
and your throat is parched
from running here and there
to worship foreign gods.
“Stop!” I shouted,
but you replied, “No!
I love those gods too much.”
