What does Jeremiah 2:24 mean?

You’re like a wild donkey in heat, sniffing the wind. No one can hold her back when she’s looking for a mate. Anyone who wants her doesn’t have to search; she’ll be easy to find when she’s in heat. Jeremiah 2:24 - Modern Text Bible

(This blunt metaphor shows Israel’s desperate, reckless pursuit of other gods, unable or unwilling to restrain themselves.)
