Jeremiah 2:22-25
22Although you 1wash yourself with lye And 2use much soap, The 3stain of your guilt is before Me,” declares the Lord 4God.23“5How can you say, ‘I am not defiled, I have not gone after the 6Baals’? Look at your way in the 7valley! Know what you have done! You are a swift young camel 8running about senselessly on her ways,24A 9wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness, That sniffs the wind in her passion. Who can turn her away in her mating season? None who seek her will grow weary; In her month they will find her.25Keep your feet from being bare, And your throat from thirst; But you said, ‘10It is 11hopeless! No! For I have 12loved strangers, And I will walk after them.’
