Jeremiah 2:22-24

New Century Version

²² Although you wash yourself with cleanser
    and use much soap,
    I can still see the stain of your guilt,” says the Lord God.
²³ “How can you say to me, ‘I am not guilty.
    I have not worshiped the Baal idols’?
Look at the things you did in the valley.
    Think about what you have done.
You are like a she-camel in mating season
    that runs from place to place.
²⁴ You are like a wild donkey that lives in the desert
    and sniffs the wind at mating time.
    At that time who can hold her back?
Any male who chases her will easily catch her;
    at mating time, it is easy to find her.
