Jeremiah 2:25

Consequences Of Apostasy

²⁴ a wild donkey at home in the wilderness.
She sniffs the wind in the heat of her desire.
Who can control her passion?
All who look for her will not become tired;
they will find her in her mating season.

and your throat from thirst.

I love strangers,
and I will continue to follow them.” ²⁶ Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,

their priests, and their prophets
