Jeremiah 2:24-26

World English Bible

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.’
²⁶ As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
    so the house of Israel is ashamed:
    they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
