22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap,
Yet your iniquity is (A)marked[a] before Me,” says the Lord God.

23 “How(B) can you say, ‘I am not [b]polluted,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
See your way in the valley;
Know what you have done:
You are a swift dromedary breaking loose in her ways,
24 A wild donkey used to the wilderness,
That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.
