Jeremiah 2:25 Douay-Rheims

Keep thy foot from being bare, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst: I have lost all hope, I will not do it: for I have loved strangers, and I will walk after them.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

Withhold your foot from going barefoot This your habit, like the wild donkey that loves to wander. My prophets say to you, “Withhold your foot from idolatry lest you go barefoot into exile and withhold your throat from dying of thirst.” but you said concerning the words of the prophets. I despair It is of no concern. I despair of your words. נואש is (nonkalajjr in O.F.) nonchalair in modern French.
