Jeremiah 2:22-24

Revised Standard Version

²² Though you wash yourself with lye
    and use much soap,
    the stain of your guilt is still before me,
                says the Lord God.
²³ How can you say, ‘I am not defiled,
    I have not gone after the Ba′als’?
Look at your way in the valley;
    know what you have done—
a restive young camel interlacing her tracks,
²⁴     a wild ass 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.
