Jeremiah 2:23-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 How can you say, “I am not defiled;
I have not gone after the Baals”?
Look at your way in the valley;
know what you have done:
a restive young camel interlacing her tracks,(A)
24 a wild ass at home in 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.(B)
25 Keep your feet from going bare
and your throat from thirst.
But you said, “It is no use,
for I have loved strangers,
and after them I will go.”(C)
Jeremiah 2:23-25
English Standard Version
23 (A)How can you say, ‘I am not unclean,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
Look at your way (B)in the valley;
know what you have done—
a restless young camel running here and there,
24 (C)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 (D)your feet from going unshod
and (E)your throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is hopeless,
(F)for I have loved foreigners,
and after them I will go.’
