Jeremiah 2:14-19 (New Revised Standard)
14
Is Israel a slave? Is he a homeborn servant? Why then has he become plunder?
15
The lions have roared against him, they have roared loudly. They have made his land a waste; his cities are in ruins, without inhabitant.
16
Moreover, the people of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
17
Have you not brought this upon yourself by forsaking the Lord your God, while he led you in the way?
18
What then do you gain by going to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Nile? Or what do you gain by going to Assyria, to drink the waters of the Euphrates?
19
Your wickedness will punish you, and your apostasies will convict you. Know and see that it is evil and bitter for you to forsake the Lord your God; the fear of me is not in you, says the Lord God of hosts.
