Jeremiah 2:22-24
Christian Standard Bible
22 Even if you wash with lye
and use a great amount of bleach,[a](A)
the stain of your iniquity is still in front of me.(B)
This is the Lord God’s declaration.
23 How can you protest, “I am not defiled;
I have not followed the Baals”?(C)
Look at your behavior in the valley;
acknowledge what you have done.(D)
You are a swift young camel
twisting and turning on her way,
24 a wild donkey(E) at home[b] in the wilderness.
She sniffs the wind in the heat of her desire.
Who can control her passion?
All who look for her will not become weary;
they will find her in her mating season.[c]
