What does Jeremiah 2:23 mean?

How can you say, 'I haven’t made myself unclean, I haven’t chased after the Baals'? Look at what you’ve done in the valley—admit what you are, like a wild camel running in every direction. Jeremiah 2:23 - Modern Text Bible

(Israel denies wrongdoing, but their actions prove otherwise. The wild camel image shows their restless, uncontrolled pursuit of idols.)
