Jeremiah 2:5

2:5 This is what the Lord says:

to seek help from the Assyrians?

Jeremiah 2:23

2:23 “How can you say, ‘I have not made myself unclean.

I have not paid allegiance to the gods called Baal.’

Think about the things you have done there!

You are like a flighty, young female camel

that rushes here and there, crisscrossing its path.

11:15 The Lord says to the people of Judah,

that you take joy in doing evil even while you make them?

Jeremiah 13:21

because your wickedness is so great

and your sin is so much.
