^{24     (A)}a wild donkey used to the wilderness,
in her heat sniffing the wind!
    Who can restrain her lust?
None who seek her need weary themselves;
    in her month they will find her.

²⁵ Keep ^(A)your feet from going unshod
    and ^(B)your throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is hopeless,
    ^(C)for I have loved foreigners,
    and after them I will go.’
