Jeremiah 2:18 WBT

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?

¹⁹  Thy own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear [is] not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

²⁰  For of old time I have broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
