Jeremiah 2:23 in Context — Jeremiah 2
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.
25 Impede que teus pés andem descalços, e tua garganta tenha sede. Porém tu disseste: Não há mais esperança; não, porque amo estranhos, e tenho que ir atrás deles.
