Jeremiah 2:23-25
Legacy Standard Bible
23 “(A)How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;
I have not walked after the (B)Baals’?
Look at your way in the (C)valley!
Know what you have done!
You are a swift young camel (D)entangling her ways,
24 A (E)wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness,
That sniffs the wind in her passion.
In the time of her [a]heat who can turn her away?
All who seek her will not become weary;
In her month they will find her.
25 Keep your feet from being barefoot
And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘(F)It is [b]hopeless!
No! For I have (G)loved strangers,
And after them I will walk.’

25 “Keep your feet from being unshod
And your throat from thirst;
But you said, ‘(F)It is [b]hopeless!
No! For I have (G)loved strangers,
And after them I will walk.’
