Jeremiah 2:22-24
Legacy Standard Bible
22 Although you (A)wash yourself with lye
And [a]use much soap,
The (B)stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares Lord Yahweh.
23 “(C)How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;
I have not walked after the (D)Baals’?
Look at your way in the (E)valley!
Know what you have done!
You are a swift young camel (F)entangling her ways,
24 A (G)wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness,
That sniffs the wind in her passion.
In the time of her [b]heat who can turn her away?
All who seek her will not become weary;
In her month they will find her.

Jeremiah 2:22-24
New International Version
22 Although you wash(A) yourself with soap(B)
and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(C)
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(D)
I have not run after the Baals’?(E)
See how you behaved in the valley;(F)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(G) here and there,
24 a wild donkey(H) accustomed to the desert,(I)
sniffing the wind in her craving—
in her heat who can restrain her?
Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves;
at mating time they will find her.
