Jeremiah 2:23-25

23 aHow can you say, ‘I am not unclean,
I have not gone after the Baals’?
Look at your way bin the valley;
know what you have done
a restless young camel running here and there,
24 ca 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.
25Keep dyour feet from going unshod
and eyour throat from thirst.
But you said, ‘It is hopeless,
ffor I have loved foreigners,
and after them I will go.’

Hosea 2:5

5For gtheir mother has played the whore;
she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
For hshe said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
who igive me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

Hosea 2:7

7She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
jThen she shall say,
‘I will go and return to kmy first husband,
lfor it was better for me then than now.’
