Jeremiah 2:13 BBE

¹¹  Has any nation ever made a change in their gods, though they are no gods? but my people have given up their glory in exchange for what is of no profit.

¹²  Be full of wonder, O heavens, at this; be overcome with fear, be completely waste, says the Lord.

¹³  For my people have done two evils; they have given up me, the fountain of living waters, and have made for themselves water-holes, cut out from the rock, broken water-holes, of no use for storing water.

¹⁴  Is Israel a servant? has he been a house-servant from birth? why has he been made waste?

¹⁵  The young lions have made an outcry against him with a loud voice: they have made his land waste; his towns are burned up, with no one living in them.
