How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

The verse 23 is found in chapter 2 of Jeremiah. Judah’s unfaithfulness is described through images of prostitution, a degenerate vine, and a female camel in heat. The prophetic language denounces a compulsive pursuit of other gods and political alliances. The nation attempts to justify itself, but its own conduct contradicts it. The chapter ends by showing that trust in human allies will ultimately produce shame.

Wie darfst du denn sagen: Ich bin nicht unrein, ich hänge nicht an den Baalim? Siehe an, wie du es treibst im Tal, und bedenke, wie du es ausgerichtet hast.
¿Como dices: No soy inmunda, nunca anduve tras los Baales? Mira tu proceder en el valle, conoce lo que has hecho, dromedaria ligera que frecuentas sus carreras;
Comment dirais-tu: Je ne me suis point souillée, Je ne suis point allée après les Baals? Regarde tes pas dans la vallée, Reconnais ce que tu as fait, Dromadaire à la course légère et vagabonde!
Come diresti: Io non mi sono contaminata? io non sono andata dietro ai Baali? Riguarda il tuo procedere nella valle, riconosci quello che tu hai fatto, o dromedaria leggiera, che involvi le tue vie;
Como dizes logo: Não estou contaminada nem andei após os baalins? Vê o teu caminho no vale, conhece o que fizeste; dromedária ligeira és, que anda torcendo os seus caminhos.
你怎能說: 『我沒有玷污,沒有隨從 巴力 』? 看看你在谷中所做的,思想你自己的所作所為; 你是快行的獨峰駝,狂奔亂闖。
