Jeremiah 2:23KJV

Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 23 of 37

"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: a swift dromedary traversing her ways;"
Jeremiah 2:23

In context

21Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

22For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

23How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

24A wild ass used to the wilderness, 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.

25Withhold 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.
