Jer 2:24 | CPDV | STEP | A wild donkey accustomed to solitude, out of the desire in his soul, caught the scent of his lover. Now nothing will turn him away from her. All those who seek her will not cease. But they will find her in her menstruation.

Jeremiah 2:24

24 A wild donkey accustomed to solitude, out of the desire in his soul, caught the scent of his lover. Now nothing will turn him away from her. All those who seek her will not cease. But they will find her in her menstruation. ^{▼▼2:24In other words, they will find that the lover they sought cannot produce offspring, being unfertile due to menstruation. This figure is a way of saying that Israel sought idols as lovers, but their lover is infertile, unable to produce any benefit, being merely an idol of wood or stone.(Conte)}
