Jeremiah 2:19-25

Names of God Bible

²⁰ “Long ago you broke off your yoke,^[a] tore off your chains,
    and said that you wouldn’t be a slave.
    You lay down and acted like a prostitute
    on every high hill and under every large tree.
²¹ I planted you like a choice grapevine from the very best seed.
    Now you have turned against me and have become a wild vine.
²² Even if you wash with detergent and use a lot of soap,
    I would still see the stains from your wickedness,”
        declares Adonay Yahweh.
²³ “How can you say that you haven’t dishonored yourselves
    and haven’t followed other gods—the Baals?
        Look how you’ve behaved in the valley.
            Acknowledge what you’ve done.
    You are like a young camel that swiftly runs here and there.
²⁴ You are like a wild donkey that is used to the desert,
    sniffing the wind while in heat.
    All who look for you won’t get tired.
    They will find you during your monthly period.
²⁵ Don’t run until your feet are bare and your throats are dry.
    But you say that it’s useless.
    You love foreign gods and follow them.
