Midrash for Jeremiah 2:25

מִנְעִ֤י רַגְלֵךְ֙ מִיָּחֵ֔ף וגורנך [וּגְרוֹנֵ֖ךְ] מִצִּמְאָ֑ה וַתֹּאמְרִ֣י נוֹאָ֔שׁ ל֕וֹא כִּֽי־אָהַ֥בְתִּי זָרִ֖ים וְאַחֲרֵיהֶ֥ם אֵלֵֽךְ׃

Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst; but thou saidst: ‘There is no hope; No, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.’

Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

(Fol. 77) (Jer. 2, 25) Prevent thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from being thirsty; i.e., prevent thyself from sin, so that thy foot be not unshod, and prevent thy tongue from speaking vanity, so that thy throat be not thirsty.
