Jeremiah 2:16 WBT

¹⁴  [Is] Israel a servant? [is] he a home-born [slave]? why is he laid waste?

¹⁵  The young lions roared upon him, [and] yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

¹⁶  Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

¹⁷  Hast thou not procured this to thyself in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?

¹⁸  And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
