Jeremiah 2:23 - The Message

"How dare you tell me, ’I’m not stained by sin.
   I’ve never chased after the Baal sex gods’!
Well, look at the tracks you’ve left behind in the valley.
   How do you account for what is written in the desert dust—
Tracks of a camel in heat, running this way and that,

Sniffing the wind for the slightest scent of sex.
   Who could possibly corral her!
On the hunt for sex, sex, and more sex—
   insatiable, indiscriminate, promiscuous.
