23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled.
    I have not gone after the Baals’?
See your way in the valley.
    Know what you have done.
You are a swift dromedary traversing her ways, 24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her craving.
    When she is in heat, who can turn her away?
    All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.
25 “Keep your feet from being bare,
    and your throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is in vain.
    No, for I have loved strangers,
    and I will go after them.’

But thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
