Jeremiah 2:24

Context

2:24 You are like a wild female donkey brought up in the wilderness.

In her lust she sniffs the wind to get the scent of a male. 1 

No one can hold her back when she is in heat.

None of the males need wear themselves out chasing after her.

At mating time she is easy to find. 2 

1 tn The words “to get the scent of a male” are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarification.

2 sn The metaphor is intended to depict Israel’s irrepressible desire to worship other gods.
