Jeremiah 2:24-26

Tree of Life Version

²⁴ a wild donkey used to the wilderness—
sniffing the wind in her passion—
in her heat, who can restrain her?
All males that pursue her will not tire themselves.
    At mating time they will find her.
²⁵ Do not run while your feet are bare
        and your throat is thirsty.
    But you said ‘There is no hope!
No! For I have loved foreign gods
        and I will go after them.’
²⁶ As a thief is shamed when caught,
        so the house of Israel is shamed—
    they, their kings, their princes,
        their kohanim and their prophets.
