Jeremiah:2:22-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For though thou wash thee with nitre ,
and take thee much soap ,
yet thine iniquity is marked before me ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
How canst thou say ,
I am not polluted ,
I have not gone after Baalim ?
see thy way in the valley ,
know what thou hast done :
thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways ;
*
A wild ass used to the wilderness ,
that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure ;
in her occasion who can turn her away ?
all they that seek her will not weary themselves ;
in her month they shall find her .
*
Withhold thy foot from being unshod ,
and thy throat from thirst :
but thou saidst ,
There is no hope :
no ;
for I have loved strangers ,
and after them will I go .
