Jeremiah 2:25 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

25Do not run until your feet are bare

and your throat is dry.

But you said, ‘It’s no use!

I love foreign gods,

and I must go after them.’

25“Keep your feet from being bare,

And your throat from thirst;

But you said, ‘It is 2:25 Or desperatehopeless!

No! For I have loved strangers,

And I will walk after them.’

25Keep your feet from being unshod

And your throat from thirst;

But you said, ‘It is hopeless!

No! For I have loved strangers,

And after them I will walk.’

25“[Cease your mad running after idols to]

Keep your feet from becoming bare

And your throat from becoming dry;

But you said, ‘It is hopeless!

For I have loved strangers and foreign gods,

And I will walk after them.’

25You should have kept your feet from going bare

and your throat from being thirsty.

But you said, ‘It is hopeless!

For I love foreign gods,

and I must go after them.’

25Do not run after other gods

until your sandals are worn out and your throat is dry.

But you said, ‘It’s no use!

I love those gods.

I must go after them.’
