Jeremiah 2:22 in Context — Jeremiah 2

20 Pois muito tempo atrás, eu quebrei teu jugo, e rompi tuas amarras, e tu disseste: Não servirei. Porém sobre todo morro alto e abaixo de toda árvore frondosa tu te deitavas [como] prostituta.

21 E eu te plantei de boa vide; ela toda era semente confiável. Como, pois, te tornaste para mim ramos de vide estranha?

22 Ainda que te laves com potassa, e passes muito sabão sobre ti, teu pecado está marcado diante de mim, diz o Senhor DEUS.

23 Como podes dizer: Nunca me contaminei, nunca andei atrás dos baalins? Olha o teu caminho no vale; reconhece o que fizeste, ó dromedária ligeira, que anda errante seus percursos,

24 jumenta selvagem acostumada ao deserto, que aspira o vento por causa do desejo da alma; de seu cio quem a deteria? Todos os que a buscarem não se cansarão; no mês dela a acharão.
